this look so nice. I have tried it once (it was not exactly this recipe but a similar one) but it surely did not look like your picture (it looked more than a mushy mess :hehe: :003:

Maybe I should try again ..

by the way, on your pic, what did you garnish the dish with ? dates? I cannot make out the brown little balls :003:

Another great post.This sounds interesting!Thanks sister for posting.

This looks like a really easy flop proof recipe for tasty starters. Infact it sounds so yummy I think I might just make it for my breakfast or brunch.
I think the garnish you've added are olives, could be wrong though!
Shukran.

Is it eaten hot or cold? I like the sound and look of this inshallah may give it a try before ramadhan then if it turns out OK will be another ramadhan regular...LOL
