I told myself that I would share a recipe for every single day of Ramadan 2022. Guess I was too tied up with the Ukraine-Russia project that I somehow forgot about it. I promise I will do it 2023. Alarm set, so no more excuses. Anyway, to celebrate Eid ul-Fitr, I present to you this simple hearty Yemeni recipe.

I have fallen in love with Middle Eastern and Indian cuisine many years ago when I was exploring my palate. I don't know. There's something about their dishes that is comforting and hearty. Perhaps their dishes are warmed with earthy aromatic spices. Or because, they are simply yummilicious.

As usual, I was doing my googling for oats recipe and this dish kept popping up on my search engine. Maybe it is a sign that I should give it a try, And I am so glad I did, or else, I wouldn't have discovered a new spice blend and a different way to cook oats. In closing, I wish everyone Eid Mubarak.
