Mujaddara

Quick question - anyone definitely know of a place that serves mujaddara in Amman?

No . Restauranteers regard it as the poor mans food.they are embarassed to have it on their menu.
It is one of my favourite dish the Kalaya Tomato onion and herbs in frying pan it is also regarded as poor man,s dish
You can get Mujadara with rice and also with burgul at Pizza Roma Cafe in downtown Amman

It doesn't say so on their menu.

Correct as I said before it Arab regard it as embarrsing to put Mujadara on the menu.They do cook it i had it many times.Give them a call
cheers

It's heavenly! I guess I'm lucky to have gone there with you, 'Marco'. :>))

PS - I made it for some friends here in London and they loved it too.

go_2 nice to see you back on the forum.Do you prefer it with rice or burgul?

I think that there is mujaddara in Kan Zaman's buffet, but of course that is not Amman proper.

I'v e only had it with rice, 'Marco' - unless it was with burgul in Amman?
I'm on here nearly every day, but don't come to this branch as often, many people here can give better advice than me. You can usually find me on the Turkish branch as I know that country very well. (And no travellers in Syria I hope, right now.)

You are right Anne I had it at Kan Zaman on the road to airport over 10 years ago .
I hope to see you in Amman In future inshallah.
cheers

go_2 I have been reading your posts on Jordan and Syria forums for ages and i find them informative and helpful.
cheers

Thanks for this. I shall contact those mentioned.

onlyMark, I guess that you are missing your koushary ;-)

Too right. I am.

Un Osmat thanks for bringing that to this subject.Koushary is known by the Egyptian guest workers in Jordan as the poor man dish.It is similar Mujadarra. cheap and filling.
.I have few of these workers working on my site for last year ,that is how i found out about Kushary..
I find a bit too strong taste some thing too hot in it .I can not eat too much of it but I love the crusty fried onions on top.
There was a restaurant in Basman st. in downtown Amman serving this dish it closed down a couple of months .ago
cheers

You can have it mild in Cairo as well if you put less chili.

I just had to cancel my September trip to Jordan. Miss you, Marcopoloo :-(
