Maqluba

 



When you are beckoned by someone eating a dish and the restaurant owner invites you (later you discover for free) you know the universe loves you.

Yes of course i did ask him how he did it after i showered him with compliments
here's what he said and what i interpretred

its all in the layer
 Potatoes
Veggies - cauliflower 

Rice fry first - semi cooked
with spices
Paprika hot and sweet
Turmeric 
Cardamom 
White pepper

Chicken on top 

Bit of water 
Oil around edge
Towel around lid to seal
Four hours small fire

still not sure about the water thing.
here chicken on top, juices run down onto rice.....
burnt potatoes on top

The aroma of the cardamon was heavenly.


another way on YT - upside
chicken on top 
rice raw - mix spices
tomotoe paste and garlic with rice too
baking paper on bottom of pot . easy peel of when serving. non stick



WIth nuts on top and eggplant surround.
Nice spices of cinnamon and person lemons, cardamon, bay leaves, all spice, tumeric, lcoves
