In some old books and documentaries, halva was made in houses during Ottoman time and distributed among friends and neighbors. Especially on the first day of the 3 important months in the Islamic calendar (Hijri Recep, Shaban, Ramadan), homemade halva is made and placed in small bowls and distributed to every neighbor.

In Turkiye, as tradition and customs halva (helva) is served on some special occasions such as births, circumcisions, weddings, and religious gatherings.  And when someone leaves or returns from Hajj(pilgrimage) and during Ramadan.

When a person has a new house or school graduation, and other important days they want to celebrate.

Not only that, but halva is also to be served at funerals or when someone is dead.

Kue is an Indonesian bite-sized snack or dessert food. Kue is a fairly broad term in Indonesian to describe a wide variety of snacks including cakes, cookies, fritters, pies, scones, and patisserie. 

Kue are made from a variety of ingredients in various forms; some are steamed, fried, or baked. 

Kue are popular snacks in Indonesia, and we have a wide variety of kue. 

In Java, traditional kue is categorized under jajan pasar (litteraly: "market buys" or "market munchies"). 

The colorfully decorated jajan pasar is usually given as a food gift or served to accompany tumpeng (the main dish) during traditional Javanese ceremonies.

Many of the traditional Indonesian kue, either sweet or savory, are based on rice flour and coconut. Traditionally, Indonesian sweets use gula aren or palm sugar, yet powdered sugar or granulated sugar is also widely used.
