25. Once potato is cooked, turn off heat, uncover pot and add dash of black pepper to the mixture and stir, then cover the pot again and keep aside for 15 minutes (with the heat off).

26. After 15 minutes, serve hot or cold, but I suggest to let it cool at room temperature and serve cold because tastier.

27. Sprinkle with black pepper and serve with Arabic flat bread, cucumber pickles and turnip pickles.

  1. This reminds me of a technique for cooking mung beans and onions I just heard about! Looks so good, the step by step photos are so helpful.

      mariam: Thanks for stopping by.
      1- It’s more chunky.
      2- No, It doesn’t go with a meat dish.
      3- I didn’t try boiling potatoes first, I suggest to try the recipe as it is.
