How do you spell and make the Arabic food Mulahia? Or Moolahia?!
like i said, i'm not sure about the preparation, but i do know that for the leafy one, the leaves are washed and left to harden and dry before they are cooked.
Answers: i believe you're talking about "Mulookhiyah". i don't exactly know how it's made, but i do know that there are two types. one is leafy, cooked with either chicken or meat, lemon is squeezed, and it's eaten with rice on the side. the other type is more soupy, lemon and vinegar is used as a dressing, and the side is rice with chicken.
