Irene Melinkoff writes that  Halva nights were made in Seljuks in 13rd century. The halva nights which were seen in the Tulip Age and in the time of the Third Ahmet, continue in the capital Konya as continuation of the tradition coming from the Seljuks. In the past, peşmani or cannabis halva was made in Konya for night guests and sour arabaşı soup was served before halva. After arabaşı, the cannabis halva was prepared in advance and the peşmani was served by the male guests. In this soup which is made with tomato sauce today, Seljuks provided sourness with plum or coriander. This kind of plum arabaşı soup which is seen today in the Bozkir district of Konya, shows that the Seljuk tradition continues.
