[@a.g.7786]

From one egyptian to another, I have to admit you are the only english channel I came across that cooks my granny's way with accurate recipes! Thank you for bringing in recipes from across the arab region!!

[@MiddleEats]

Aww thank you Asmaa. Hope you are able to make many amazing meals with these recipes.

[@elijahheyes9061]

Terrific thanks....I have a new neighbour called Abdul who's from Alexandria, Egypt and he brings me food that iv'e never tried before, and the flavours are fantastic and now I want to learn how to cook Middle Eastern food...It's soooo yummy 😋 His English isn't very good yet and I don't speak Arabic, but he's just signed up for an English course at college and I'm going to learn Arabic online, so hopefully in a few months we will be able to communicate and become good friends...But for now, I'm here on KZbin to learn some cooking...I already cook Indian, Chinese, Russian, Polish and French food, and now I'm going on a new adventure 😊🙋🏻‍♂️

[@MiddleEats]

That sounds like the start of a beautiful friendship! Food always helps build bridges. Hope I can help with it.

Thank you so much for the recipe! My Egyptian husband refused to eat my rice always , until today when I cooked the rice in your way. I must say that he was impressed and I was surprised by what an amazing, tasty flavour it has 😍

In Europe there are not many people who know how to cook like this, thank you so much for sharing your culture online!! I will definitely try this!

Sounds delicious, I'm happy you enjoyed it!

I'm from Ellsworth, Maine and just made your rice recipe and it was outstanding. Can't believe I got it right on the first try. Love your videos and can't wait to try another recipe.

[@alanlovesmusic6442]

We just made this rice today with kabobs for Mother's day dinner. This recipe is a keeper. It was that yummy. Versatile, would pair up awesome with baked fish. We ordered the cardamom pods and dried limes off of Amazon. We used a green chili from our local grocery store. It's heat was that of a good jalapeno but thin walled, perfect for flavoring. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@andrewwinson5866]

That crunchy rice you mention that you save as a “chef’s treat” reminds me of a sort of accidental version the tahdig every Iranian I’ve ever met prides themselves on, or bemoans their inability to get right.

[@MiddleEats]

Yeah Tahdig is insanely beautiful and a dish I want to do really soon. I think with Tahdig though, there is a key to removing the crispy rice without breaking it into tiny pieces.

[@andrewwinson5866]

Yeah, they do take a few extra steps to make it a more firm sort of...puck? At the bottom, that holds together when the dish is done and flipped over.

[@MiddleEats]

Yeah it's a thing of beauty and I could imagine myself taking the entire thing 🤣

[@witnessthefitness5462]

@@MiddleEats Please teach us how to make perfect Tahdig. My dad does it to impress Iranian guests (which always works!) but I would love to be able to make it on demand :)

[@MiddleEats]

I'll definitely need to do some research and experiment to get it right. But when I do it will be fool proof.

Hey man. Popping by from Reddit where I lurk r/cooking. So happy to see a Brit spreading the love of cooking from their motherland. You have officially inspired me to record videos of my mums cooking, for my own use and as a family history. If I can recommend something: zoom out a little to frame your face better in intro. Thank you, a fellow British Asian.

Also, amazing channel name. How long did it take you to come up with it?

[@MiddleEats]

Good to have you here, I appreciate you following along. That's a nice idea, that way you'll be able to make her recipes perfectly. I would but the kitchen is quite small and it can also be a bit messy, so sometime I have to crop in to hide the mess. I'll definitely keep it in mind though and try search for a solution!
