  1. For the viewer who asked abt how many calories this dish has, I would say that when it comes to Moroccan cooking just eat it nd never ask cuz u ll be blown away when u know how many calories re in it 😛 still it's heavenly good, so u can cheat once in a while :)) good job Alia, it's done the authentic way 😉

  2. It looks soooo delicious YUMMMMMY .. I'm gonna make it soon. Thank Alia … k'nibgheek bi'zzaff

  3. thx alia for all the stuff u teach us i have learned a lot from you . but in this video i have a small note . my dad teach me how to make lamb ou beef or … and he said when u add water always add it in the edge not on the top of the meat . when u add water on top of it like you washing it from all that good tasty stuff 

  4. I have guests tonight, I'll give it a try and let you know 😉 Miss you Alia!

  5. Asalam alaikum, how is it if I like to add vagatables? When and where to put in?

  6. I made this for my family and all the plates came back empty they loved it it smells so good while it was cooking but when it's done talk about amazing 👍💖

  7. Please i want to ask ginger powder is there in the ingredients but when to put the ground ginger in tajin?

  8. Looks delicious! I see a lot of similarity with Indian food. Indians from India originated in South Sudan. Their cooking is a very similar spice base, with the same braising in s cooking. Then they picked up influences from Ethiopia, and Central Asia, notably Iran. Indian spices bases are more rich and complex, and varied by regions/states. Same cumin, coriander, turmeric, ginger, garlic as the main curry base, with additional cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, bay leaf for both North and South Indian. Additional spices are fennel, asafoetida, fenugreek, mustard seed, caraway seed, poppy seed, green mango powder, tamarind, and even black lentils and roasted split peas as spices. Mint and cilantro leaves, sometimes dill.
