Assalamu aliakum,
Jazaaki Allah khair for this! We (Palestinians) make kabsah too: same idea as this but not exactly the same. I want to try this way sooo badly but I don't have the black limes and I don't know where I could get them from. Are they a must?

Alaykum Salam,
You can make it just as good without the limes, they just give it a smoky flavor but I have made it without them before with perfect results.
Good luck
