Short description
This porridge-like dish turns wheat and meat into a smooth, deeply comforting main.
Ingredients
Cracked wheat, lamb or chicken, stock, salt, ghee, and mild warm spices.
Cultural note
It is associated with Ramadan evenings and large gatherings where long cooking makes grain and meat feel like one texture.
Common misconception
It is not meant to stay grainy; the soft, blended texture is part of the dish.
