Turkmen sweet dishes are very similar to those cooked by Uzbeks: navat (baked sugar) and bekmes (a brew from watermelon and grape juices).
The only unique national Turkmen sweet dish is a special type of halva made from the roots of a liliaceous plant called cheresh.
It is boiled down with grape, watermelon, melon etc. juices and spices until jam-like mass.
