Final presentation of my Arabic kabsa

This is my final presentation.its very delicious,juicy and yummy .As soon as I dished it out, its aroma spread throughout the house.I served with salad and riyta.

Task:2 cultural back ground

This is Arabic dish.It is cooked eaten with great enthusiasm in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries.It is made with great enthusiasm at feasts and festivals.its cooked beef,mutton,lamb,camel meat ,chicken with rice.And this dish is considered a symbol of brother hood love and unity,Hospitality.

Origin of this dish

This dish spread through various Arab tribes that migrated from one desert to another desert Which were called Bedouins. .These animals were also accompanied by cattle, and they cooked this meat, rice, and spices together in the same pot, which is why it is called one pot dish(.The reason was that they had few resources and little water, and the effort was to cook quickly and all at once in one pot.)In this way, the dish gradually became part of the culture and became famous.And so this dish slowly spread throughout the Arab countries.

Task =culture comparison

This dish is similar to our Pakistani dish chicken pulo

Chicken pulo	Arabian kabsa
This dish made from beef,chicken,lamb,camel meat,mutton	Arabian is also made from mutton,beef,chicken,lamb,camel meat
Spices are almost same	spices are almost same
meat added with rice	meat added with rice
It's one pot dish	it's one pot dish
Served with yougrt and salad	. served with yougrt and salads

Difference between both the dishes

chilies and spices are added to chicken pulao.

While Arabic dishes kabsa only add strong spices.That's why it produces a very delicious, strong, extra spicy flavor.not used green chilli,red chilli,dry chilli.That's this dish feel light and soft,when eaten.

To make pulo tomatoes, yogurt, lemon, and plum are added for sourness.Any one to two ingredients are enough for a pulo

While Arabic kabsa dry lemon must added(I didn't have dried lemon this recipe, so I used half cup of lemon juice.) Excess used of lemon .This is a characteristic of this dish that sets it apart from other dishes in giving it a sour flavor.
Smokey flavour enhance the taste of kabsa.
