    whole wheat or wheat powder or crushed wheat??

    Do you have a recipe for kabsa rice? And shawerma(spelling?)? Can we make shawerma at home without that machine they use at the restaurents?

    Thanks in advance.

    in the traditional method, for harees, big pieces of meat (actually veal), and whole wheat is used...cooked on low flame and mashed up in the process
    but, yes, for quick method use broken wheat (burghul)
