  • Eman’s Chicken Kabsa

    Eman’s Chicken Kabsa

    Mummy wasn’t feeling well a few weekends back, and I was really worried because she took so long to recover and had such poor appetite.  I decided to make something nice for her for dinner, in hopes that she’d eat more.  I didn’t want to do a lamb dish, because I figured an elevated…

    Weekend Cooking: Lamb Meghazlia Rice
