She made it just the way she always did and guess what same problem the molasses that I had was extremely acidic and her fasanjoon was also "ruined". So we came to the conclusion that the company that produces that brand of molasses cuts down on costs by using less pomegranate and more citric acid. I will continue using your recipe but change the molasses. -ziziAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507893029704951581.post-11422956000689849702014-11-07T13:37:07.761+03:002014-11-07T13:37:07.761+03:00I finely chop them using a knife.

Using a coffee grinder or over-processing them would extract their natural oils and make a mess.Maryamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03661997214924178794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507893029704951581.post-85868875312385861122014-11-07T11:32:58.491+03:002014-11-07T11:32:58.491+03:00I will try that next time.

The original recipe actually called for 1/3 cup molasses diluted in 1 cup water, but that didn't give much flavor to me so I increased the molasses ratio. I hope this works out better for you!

I added a half cuf brown sugar and it was still very tangy. Being said that I will still use this recipe but I will just add much less pomegranate molasses. Thank you again Mariam!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507893029704951581.post-80739723897009758612014-10-22T14:14:17.789+03:002014-10-22T14:14:17.789+03:00Oh that book was a huge disappointment!

She says boiled, and the picture shows that its clearly fried; she writes a specific list of ingredients and the instructions mention things not even listed! I have the book and basically all I dare use it for is picture inspiration and for the names of the dishes-that's it! On the other end of the spectrum, I cannot recommend enough Nawal Nasrallah's Iraqi cookbook: Delights from the Garden of Eden. It is a treasure and not just a book. I wish I can thank her for her efforts that took a lifetime to compile.Maryamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03661997214924178794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507893029704951581.post-83127631423698360012014-10-22T14:05:35.878+03:002014-10-22T14:05:35.878+03:00This looks interesting Maryam.

This looks much better and inspiring to give it a second shot. Thank you for sharing. S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
