Method

  1. Knead the semolina with the smen and water into a soft dough.

  2. Rub it well between your hands until it crumbles into fine, couscous-like grains.

  3. Steam it, then mix with the mashed dates, smen and orange blossom water to form a firm mixture.

  4. Shape and serve warm, especially at celebrations and weddings.
