‘All Clear’ teaches cooking halva

The seventeenth episode of iFilm English TV Channel’s ‘All Clear’ is to teach you cooking Iranian-style halva.

In some special Islamic occasions, Iranians and some other Muslim nations tend to cook Halva, a delicious dish served as a votive food.

We also cook and offer it when we lose someone, and those who eat the food usually pray for the deceased.

The main ingredients are water, sugar, saffron, flour, and oil. Moreover, adding some rosewater would give it a very pleasant fragrance.

Produced by Mohammad-Reza Shafiee and directed by Hamid Nematollah, ‘All Clear’ hits the air daily at 20:00 GMT.

Each episode of the 42-part show is repeated the next day at 01:00, 07:00 and 12:00.

The series tells the story of a large family, most of whom are at odds with each other.

To protect themselves from the missile attacks of the Baathist regime during Iraq-Iran war, the family members and their children go to their mother's garden in a village on the outskirts of Tehran, and a series of adventures lead them to a mutual understanding.
