HALVA is another product introduced to Russian people from the ex-USSR republics of Central Asia. Its origin is from West Asia or the Indian subcontinent, but most associate it with Arabic culture as the first known written halva recipe appeared in the early 13th century Arabic Kitab al-Tabikh (The Book of Dishes) and since then it has become very popular in many countries and parts of the world.
