u didn't use the tomatoe paste !!

[cookingtheeasyway]

@haifab1 , I do not use tomato paste. i think only Egyptians use it with Mululkhia.

[bonzaibb12]

@cookingtheeasyway I lived in Jordan and Lebanon and most of the people I knew used tomato paste there too. They say it prevents it from becoming too stringy. 

[cookingtheeasyway]

@bonzaibb12 , maybe some people like using it. when i cook mine it does not become stringy at all, so i guess it is all in the method you cook it or how long you let it boil or over boil. thanks for coming by.

Yes, this is how I make it! If you are using chicken or meat broth, it should have spices added to it such as bay leaf, cardamom, cinnamon, allspice, which makes it flavorful. but i usually cook it vegetarian so i add salt and black pepper to it. also the major flavor that is added to it is fried garlic and cilantro. i would be interested in knowing which spices you add to it. thanks for coming by.

this look realy delicious, but i gotta say, we do it a bit diffeantly than how u described it. u added no spices but the salt and pepper, when we do it we put a varaiety of differant ingrediants which make it unresistable. but as a whole, it just looks delicious. note: mulukhia is my most favorite dish. too bad I donno how it's made, but thx for allah we have the mother.

@kraitosofwar ,Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.There are many ways to cook any recipe. I usually add only salt and black pepper to Mulukhia,but the I have to admit that the major ingredients that gives Mulukhia its nice flavor is garlic and fresh Cilantro.The recipes on the video are both vegetarian, sometimes i add cardamom to the water to make it flavorful. you may add meat or chicken broth to Mulukhia, of course the broth would be flavored with other spices of your choice. Thanks!

just salt and pepper?? umm thats not how you do mulukhia , suppose to be much more spices than that

@cherokiimslm , glad you found the recipe at last! since you are in the states, you will find Mulukhia at most middle eastern stores in the freezer section. it is available in frozen leaves or fine cut form. Yes, you can use fresh Cilantro/Corriander, whatever you call it, it is the same herb. You may make it using chicken or meat broth, some people add chicken or meat to it too. good luck and i hope the recipe works out for you.

WOW this is somthing Ive been looking for for so many years, but didnt know the name of it, Im so excited! Although I dont know where to get molokhia leaves from but theres an arab store around the corner Im guessing they should have them,about the cilantro, cant you use frest too is that fine? I mean corriander (same thing but some ppl only use one of those names)
