Method

  1. Cook the chicken or meat with the onion and spices in a light white broth.

  2. Steam the tlitli, rubbing it with butter, until the grains separate like couscous.

  3. Mix the tlitli with some of the white broth so it absorbs the flavour.

  4. Serve topped with the pieces of meat or chicken.
