Turkmen Cuisine - Sweets


 
 
 

Turkmen sweet dishes are very similar to those cooked by Uzbeks: navat (baked sugar) and bekmes (a brew from watermelon and grape juices). The only unique national Turkmen sweet dish is a special type of halva made from the roots of a liliaceous plant called cheresh. It is boiled down with grape, watermelon, melon etc. juices and spices until jam-like mass.
