@TheLinasssssss

1 stick of butter = 8 tablespoons of butter = 113 grams of butter.

aussi, j'ai une autre recette de harcha qui est bien meilleure: "Harcha - Moroccan Semolina Bread - Ramadan Specials", it's in my youtube channel.

[jawharaf13]

tbark allah alik, alia, when you going to came in whole foods in princeton

[ImGoingOnABerryHunt]

Hi Alia...

I just made this today and it was really really yummy. However, I had to make it super thin because the middle seemed to be kinda dark and moist when I make it thicker.

Is the center supposed to be totally dry, or can it be moist a bit?

[mboudjemaa]

Is the butter salted?

[zippadeedooday]

Masha'Allah, that looks delicious. I have been doing more baking lately but nothing yet with Semolina. I will have to try this out!

[Qauntonium]

[Taylen2009]

I was trying to view the harira video and it says it private now?? I just watched it like one week ago what happened alia? I love you videos!

[grenny]

where do you buy this kind of cheese :)

I have never seen this cheese in america

[cookingwithalia]

oh this just Brie without the crust. you can find it in any supermarket :-)

cheers!

[grenny]

shukran ;)

[grenny]

what is the Brand you use in this video?:)

I want to find this kind . please :)

[cookingwithalia]

I'll go to the supermarket next time and will let you know. I dont know the name on top of my head :-(

cheers!

[lailahillal]

salamoe alaikoem.

your recepies are very easy to follow. I see that you use the butter sticks. kan you tell me how much gram that is. becouse we don't have that stick in our country

thank you

[cookingwithalia]

1 butter stick = 8 tablespoons of butter = 113 grams.

hope this helps :-)

[Arpiatje]

eh sorry i ask so much but how much is a cup?

thank for helping me! :)

[Arpiatje]

is semolina flour like smieda?

I dont know if you know what smieda is but ok :D

[cookingwithalia]

yes it's not exactly smida but very close! In Morocco you can find different textures of smida: the fine one, the rough one, etc. so semolina is smooth and fine. the rough one would be more like cornmeal. hope this helps :-)

[Arpiatje]

Ow oke thank you so much! :D

[badboy8963]

think you alia you are (hadga)

[cookingwithalia]

choukran :-)

[khalid93o]

ahh ok we make it with water

[EvelynGB]

HI Alia! Gave Harcha a go tonight! My husband is at soccer right now and he will be surprised that I made something with semolina. He bought 10 kg in ramadan and I am still trying to use it up : P Thanks for the nice recipe! I will let you know how huuby likes it.  :D

[cookingwithalia]

10 kg! that's a lot of harcha :-)

hope you enjoy it!

cheers :-)

[Naoufalitos24]

sorry , i am moroccan, and that's not the Harcha that i know , that "Harcha" is like bread , but the moroccan one , is not like bread, at all . When you eat the Moroccan harcha you leave crumbs , but the one you made When you opened it it didn't leave any crumbs , it was like bread , SORRY

[cookingwithalia]

good point! the thing is that in Morocco we use 'smida' which is a rough kind of semolina, and it's very difficult to find the exact ingredients when you live outside of Morocco. I used semolina that I have access to in the supermarket and it's more fine than the Moroccan smida. cheers :-)

[Naoufalitos24]

IT seems that you Live outside morocco , Where Exactly ? I Mean The Country

[cookingwithalia]

I live in the US, in the east coast.

[khalid93o]

cool me too in east coast in san francisco

[margoqu]

First of all, let me tell you: thank you very much! I found a lot of recipes I was looking for!

Second, you can find "the right smida" in the russian stores. If u r in Boston, then in Brookline there should be some. The name of smida in Russian is "manka".

[cookingwithalia]

thank you for the tip!!!

this is great to know, I'll have to find a russian store around where I live. I know that the Indian store has similar smida they call 'suji' but I never know which one to pick (they have different types).

thanks again!!!!

cheers :-)

[romantic0planet]

j'adore tes plats Alia...malgré que je suis un home lol mais je vis seul ce qui m'incite à cooking grace à toi ...100000000000 merciiiiiiii t'es superbe et trop belle et c'est assez suffisant pour avoir une trés bonne appetit...avec tt mon respet...

[preciousmoroccan]

I just made it , it's yammy !!

My husband couldn't have enough from it ,lol.

Tell me please with what can I replace the SUGAR ..!

[cookingwithalia]

oh yeah, I know! I cant get enough of it either!!!!

the sugar... eternal question of health.

you can simply omit it! or reduce the amount. the sugar gives it that little hint of sweetness.

hope this helps!

cheers

[harcha]

mmmmm ty for sending me this video ^^

[almonsit]

[eraoul]

We had the harcha with Christmas Eve dinner (along with the vegetarian tajine + chicken). It was all a huge success!!

[hostaden]

[chakssam]

[casabike]

baka lik ri chafange

[ferubian]

Thank you so much for the recipes. You have made my whole Ramadan! My husband is from Morocco and I even though I am a good cook and make a variety of different kinds of cuisine, I just don't know how to make this kind of food that makes Ramadan special. Thanks!!!

[cookingwithalia]

I am glad you enjoyed this video. Hope you like the other ramadan specials as well :-)

[beckylynnkirby]

Thanks for the explanation. I will give it a try.

[beckylynnkirby]

Thank you for the lesson on harcha. I fondly remember eating harcha in Morocco with cheese (la vache qui rit). I don't remember the harcha being sweet. Is it always made with sugar?

[cookingwithalia]

Hi Becky,

if you try this recipe you will find that you wont taste so much the sweetness of the sugar, but it will enhance the semolina flavor. you can cut the sugar by half if you would like, but a little sugar is necessary for that kick :-)
