    Alsalam Alaikum sister, you have a very nice blog indeed!
    did you by any chance post the famous Iraqi Halawa -Army halawa- or Halawat Aljaish. I adore this Halawa but can't find a trusted recipe online, or they all contain Powdered milk which is not an option in Canada!
    I found a recipe once using cornstarch, flour and sugar but can't remember more than that.
    I would appreciate the help!

    Wa alaikum al Salam, thank you!
    I tried to find what you referred to but the closest thing appears to be Halawa Taheen (flour halawa). Is this what you are referring to? It's one of the oldest and most basic Iraqi halawas. flour sauteed in ghee, then a sugar surup is poured over it and stirred until the right consistency. It can be flavored differently, such as cinnamon or cardamom, but that is optional. Could this be what are are looking for?

    Shokran, if it was just us I would try the fish one but we are having guests over again. He wants maklouba that has layers of tomatoes, potatoes, chicken, onion, vermicelli and rice. I have found another one but everything I have made off your blog he loves... He thinks maybe your family and his family come from the same state(he is from Diyala). He said your recipes remind him of his mom's cooking.

    Assalamu Alaikum sister Maryam. With Ramadan coming up is there anyway you could do a little write up on which foods are good during Ramadan? Last year we were in a tough situation financially and were not able to host any dinners for friends however this year we are okay and will be hosting 4-5 families at our house on different days. I just don't know what to prepare. When I made it last year it was my first Ramadan and I made Sharba(lentil soup) chicken, rice, fresh veggies and olives. Over and over again because that's what my husband likes but I prefer not to do it again this year. Thanks for any help...

    Salam alaikum sister, there is something that I had at a friend's house and I don't know what it's called so I don't know if you already have a recipe posted for it or not. It was served over rice it has vermacelli, peas, carrots, sometimes potatoes, nuts and raisins. It tends to be a little sweet and a little spicy at the same time. The potatoes and carrots are chopped very small. Thank you sister.

    Wa alaikum Al Salam dear Denise, I have been searching what you described and I can only think of biryani or Rice Garnish. Rice garnish are a variety of garnishes served over rice, and my consist of minced meat or shredded chicken as well as fried vermicelli and raisins and nuts. I will keep in mind to post about them insha Allah.

      Wa alaikum al Salam dear Denise. The freezer tends to alter the taste of food cooked with spices, so although the food might still taste good, it might be somewhat degraded in flavor upon thawing. The most time consuming part of a marag is the boiling of the meat. So my suggestion is to boil the meat without any seasoning or spices, let it cool, then freeze it in the needed portions together with its broth in zip lock bags. Then upon thawing you can pick up the rest by adding the vegetables, spices and seasonings. I hope this helps.
