Salam Alaykum Alia i love all your cooking your great MashAllah i have one Question when i try to write message too you on your homepage on Google it says ( leave comment ): enter name, email, website, but im confused what i have to type in for (website) please if someone can help

[cookingwithalia]

@Maryam31M I dont think you have to type anything. just leave it blank.

I want some of that now lol.

But I'm just curious, can we also prepare it by mixing the egg, almond, and the chicken mixtures together as one whole mixture??

[cookingwithalia]

@Eh2thaZ

I would not do that LOL. the point of this dish is to have the 3 layers separate, let the mixing happens when chewing :-)

When you add the whole chicken, does that include the organs that are packed with it as well?

[cookingwithalia]

@kinkypooh1019 no, the chicken is cleaned up.

Can this dish be refrigerated?

@TheCoset It's 1/4 tea spoon of turmeric powder. In French and Dutch we call it "curcuma". In Spain you use it in paella to replace saffron (which is expensive) to make the rice turn yellow, but it doesn't have the same taste.
