    I tried your recipe, it’s great, just one thing I would have liked to see in more detail: the step after rolling the dough like a spring roll. You mention flattening it, but I would have liked to see a photo of that step. Anyway, I managed.

    Kari It is an Algerian recipe among many others that I find online under pseudo Moroccan names!!!!! Why!!!!!! While Morocco has so many equally lovely recipes, I do not understand!!!! My suggestion: I prefer Algerian msemen or meloui as the title.
