Harira (Moroccan Lentil & Tomato Soup)

[jeangove01]

@thanhyen02 Just remove the meat.

[briangpratt]

LOL. "Say no to samosas!". Looks good.

[pulp901]

This looks tasty thanks for the recipe..I am sick of the samosa's ;-)

[crocomaximo]

This is not how we make it in Morocco. But it might be delicious, I'll try it next Ramadan.

Thanks

[TitliNihaan]

@thanhyen02 Maybe some more vegetables, or mushrooms.

[lessen1]

how come you did not add some sort of flower, or it doesnt matter ? i think u add to make it thick

[TitliNihaan]

@lessen1 You can use egg or flour to thicken the soup

[lessen1]

@TitliNihaan thank you, i made it last week and put a full bowel of flower let me tell you that was really thick

[o0ocaramelo0o]

oh i dont know how to thank you , looks very yammi , its little bit diffirent , you should add around 2 tsp of flour mixed with water to make it thin , we use semen ( gharam ) in the end as well , but i am sure that your harira is very yamiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii we eat it with dates or shebakia sweet , or boiled eggs sometimes

[iEGeek]

Those samosas must be really solid, you can hear the loud thud when it hits a surface.

[christodouloueleni]

Can You Please Make a Video For Lentil Soup Please?:) thanks...

[p111nad]

your right, I am sick of eating those samosas and pakoras, I will try this dish out.

[TitliNihaan]

@p111nad I knew there had to be at least ONE person who was fed up with samosas. I found you!

[narjiss82]

salam titli, it is so nice to see how you cook harira finally :) i am in morocco so everyday drinking harira for iftar. here, we also refer often iftar as 'ftor', meaning breakfast(they think this is the first meal of the day. just in ramadan!) as married to moroccan muslim i learned how to cook many moroccan food, including my favorite, harira. i usually make it with flour to thicken it, but never tried with eggs. but i looks so good!! i will definately try it inshallah. thank you for wonderful

[narjiss82]

videos, and happy ramadan!

[TitliNihaan]

@narjiss82 And Ramadan kareem to you :-)

[mickypoo4622]

Is the 2 hours cooking time just to cook the meat? If I used sliced or diced potato instead of meat (and left out or substituted another veg for the celery) would that alter the cooking time or maybe should I add the potato later? I think that potato tends to disintegrate if boiled for too long. Or did I just make things too complicated as I've fundamentally altered the recipe :-| ???

[TitliNihaan]

@mickypoo4622 If you look further down, simis7 gives a nice veggie option for this recipe. The cooking time is not just about the meat, but also the pulses.

[TrueBrainDamage]

wow! I want to try this recipe! It looks really delicious!

I love your channel Titli!

xoxo from Italy :D

[CollyWogs1]

Yet another one of your recipes I can't wait to try!

[osummuso]

Wow.

Most ingredients I think I've ever seen you use.

An inspiration as always Titli.

[mentholights]

this looks great and different~~~~

[crippledlord]

oh that looks soooooooo good 

[channabiryan]

I can never say no to samosas :)

[TitliNihaan]

@channabiryan I'll tell you a secret... Shhhhh.... neither can I!

[crippledlord]

@channabiryan the samosa is not something you can say no to ^_^

[annasari]

Looks lovely! Could you use only egg yolks instead of the whole egg? Hubby is allergic to eggwhites... :))

[TitliNihaan]

@annasari Or use flour to thicken it. Have a look at the recipe on my website.

[theeSHXT]

you're supposed to dissolve a tablespoon of flour in some water and add it in, also, traditionally, people use noodles, and add the egg at the end if they want it.

[TitliNihaan]

@theeSHXT The recipe on my website gives that as an alternative, together with vermicelli noodles. I was torn which to use, but if I'd used flour to thicken it someone would surely have said that it's thickened with egg! :-)

[Coelacanth1938]

What did Muslim cooks do before there was tomatoes available? I've studied some Medieval culinary history because of my involvement with Renaissance faires and I found the lack of tomatoes in early Italian cuisine a little disconcerting. But how different was Muslim cuisine back then?

[TitliNihaan]

@Coelacanth1938 Good question. I may be old, but not THAT old!

[shifttradition]

@Coelacanth1938 probably just rice and lamb haha i wonder what they had before yogurt.

[bigcrowfly]

@Coelacanth1938 You are right, tomatos, squash (including pumpkins), potatos, chocolate, peppers (including chili peppers), peanuts and corn are all new world foods. They were only eaten in the eastern hemisphere after Columbus (1492). Also, do they have a Peruvian section in the Ethnic grocery stores there in the UK. You will find more unusual thngs like quinoa.

[cmxcmx]

Lovely! Must remember this for when guests come over.

[TechnicalNovice]

What is that word that you say after every video? and what does the translation mean in English? I would like to know. Thanx! Your videos are always entertaining. :)

-Technical Novice :)

[addy852174]

@addy852174 Thank You! its been a question of mine for a while. :)

[niteshmurti]

[goodagofilms]

can you serve it with chips?. ( go on! do a doner kebab and chips special )

Or, Food after beer show case.

[TitliNihaan]

@goodagofilms LOL!

[TitliNihaan]

I wonder why 2 people disliked this? Maybe because I dissed samosas? :-)

[biggieshot2pac]

@TitliNihaan Yes, exactly that. Wasn't me though hehe...

[ToonLinkFanGirl]

This looks so good! Maybe it would make me like chickpeas.....:-p

[xavierpaquin]

looks tasty im gonna make that when autumn comes

[simis7]

OMG! I love harira! Yum! I make veg version. start w/onion,celery, butter. Lightly sweat then add salt,pepper,cuminP,corianderP,­black pepper, Lentils, peas, water, can of crushed tomato. Cook. When 90% cooked, I add chick peas, little pasta(those lil' ones for soup), can of chickpeas. Then add (3 tbs each tomato paste+AP Flour) in some water. Add and mix. cook 5 min and its ready!

I love it. no meat no egg. Hope this gives ppl another option. I simply love your videos Titli Auntie.

[TitliNihaan]

@simis7 Thanks simis7.  I'm sure there will be people interested in your veggie version!

[Esunshine71]

i like it but i wouldn't add the eggs!!

[TitliNihaan]

@Esunshine71 If you look on my website, you'll see that you can also thicken it with flour if you prefer.

[mickysantos]

sorry Titli, but I can't say no to samosas. I just... can't.

[TitliNihaan]

@mickysantos Resist!  Resist!

[BelgiumChoco]
