 What's Happening?

Hello, I am Farah, a girl from Egypt and I would like to recommend some Egyptian dishes that you need to try when you come to Egypt!

1. Molokhia 

Finely chopped leaves of the Molokhia plant are mixed with the soup, topped with roasted garlic and often served on top of rice or pita bread pieces.

2. Koshary

The national cuisine of Egypt and a popular street meal. The meal is an Egyptian dish that blends Italian and Middle Eastern culinary components and dates back to the mid-nineteenth century. Koshary is a dish that combines rice, macaroni, and lentils, then tops it with a spiced tomato sauce and garlic vinegar, as well as chickpeas and crispy fried onions. It's frequently accompanied by a dusting of garlic juice

3. ًWaraa Enab
