Method
Toast the flour in a dry pan until it colours and smells fragrant.
Mix with the toasted almonds and sesame, the cinnamon and the nigella seeds.
Melt the smen with the honey and gradually work it into the flour mixture until it has a sandy texture that just holds together.
Serve in a bowl decorated with sesame and almonds; a traditional fortifying food for new mothers and special occasions.
