Does anyone know how to make the Greek food called Maqloobeh? My friend was talking about it and said she also calls it Upside Down. This is her version and it doesn’t make that much sense to me. If anyone knows the correct way to make it or the exact directions….please let me know.
Sarah’s version
upside down (Macluba-arabic)
cut chicken into pieces and bake in oven
season with salt pepper sazzon and complete seasoning
fry potatoes, carrots, eggplant, and califlower
let 2/3 cups of rice soak in hot water for 30 min.
fry vermaccelli with butter and pour over raw rice
season rice with salt, complete seasoning, sazzon, maggi(chicken flavor), all spice, and very little curry
put cooked chicked and fried veggies on the bottom of pot then rice over it
fill pot with water until rice is cooked.

I’m making an Indian-style chickpea curry with the following ingredients:
Green beans
Tomatoes
Onion
Carrots
Peas
I don’t really want to add tofu or any fake meat products. Can you think of any bean or vegetable that I could add that would give it a little more bulk?
