Talk:Traditional Saudi Kabssah/@comment-108.234.29.227-20130126064440

I have had several Saudi friends who have made this for me, and all of them make it differently. You can buy "kabseh" or "kebseh" spice at international groceries, as well as black lemons. I can't imagine this dish without them! All of my friends, who were from every corner of the country, used these two ingredients even though the rest of the ingredients varied. I've had it made with lamb as well as chicken. Varied sides have been a tomato/lemon sauce, a yogurt sauce, a very hot, red spice blend (served by the person who served it with the yogurt sauce), a chopped tomato relish...everyone's family does it a little differently. It's addictive!
