Hilbah
Hilbah, (Arabic: حلبة) also spelled Holbah, is a condiment made from ground fenugreek seeds, and a traditional Yemeni food,[1] now popularized among other cultures as well, especially by Yemenite Jews in Israel, who have introduced it to other ethnic groups.[2] Hilbah greatly expands when added to water, and when whisked in a bowl it takes on a light, frothy texture. It is consumed almost everyday domestically in Yemen, and can be eaten by itself or added to Saltah and Fahsa.[3] A dollop of Hilbah is often dished out of the larger batch and added to hot soup.
