Cuisine Algérienne

[snow_white]

Why, ana the gift that keeps on giving, ya khti snow white

Wallah?? how so?

I first found the site by chance when searching for a song and there were a lot of 'dead' or expired links and I saw people asking for things that I knew I could add. I didn't think it would be a good idea to arrive and start posting non-Algerian stuff (yalla you know how sensitive they are), and when I looked at all the various sections I thought it no problem to drop in any Algerian related material I already had or that I find on my travels around the Internet.

you will never regret itand you will learn many things if you have not already

(yalla you know how sensitive they are), NON-ALGERIAN ?, yeah of course I know

[/B][/QUOTE]After a time Lotfi said that people would be happy to see a mixture of music so I broadened the variety but as it is Algeria.com and it's Algerian culture that most people will be looking for here I respect that and look out for what is most relevant..[B][QUOTE]

you can enlighten us with all the cultures you want I am sure there is no restrictions, but it depends on khokom(toujours nejebdek, soryy)

If you want some recipe links from the Middle East try here, here, here and here. If it's food from the Lubnan you're most interested in try here.

Happy hunting.

thanks , I have already got lots of books, and I am doing well in cooking, but my problem was BATATA HARRA

[Al-khiyal]

Batata Har-rah

1 kg potatoes diced and deep fried until browned
3 cloves of garlic crushed
1 tbs coriander powder
2 tbs fresh coriander chopped
1/4 tsp chilli powder
1tsp lemon juice
1 tbs tomato ketchup
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp mixed spices
1 tbs oil
salt , pepper

Heat the oil in a large pan, add the garlic and the rest of the ingredients (without the potatoes). Fry for 1 minute then add the fried potatoes. Toss together, check seasoning and serve....

wa enjoy

Replace the potatoes with florets of cauliflower.
Add 2 tbsp of soy sauce and a pinch of ajinamoto to the spices and see the difference!

It becomes a delicious Chinese Manchuri dish!

Thank you - I love those!

Plus, not as time consuming, as many delicious Algerian dishes are, to make.

[Al-khiyal]

lol, shukran for the 'hybrid' recipe ya sania

[liberte]

And before anyone takes it the wrong way - there's loads of Algerian dishes I LOVE. I just wasn't taught to make them and sometimes following recipes takes a time, plus the results aren't the same!

It usually takes time to prepares algerian dishes, with or without following a recipe (reading it)
