I made this the other day, but used this boxed jameed now from the arabi store by ziyad brand i believe and another brand. I cooked the meat, then added the liquified jameed to it,let it boil then served it, but the taste was very dry, i tried adding more water to the mix and spices but it didn't turn out right. I haven't heard anyone else using this boxed jameed in their reciepes online yet, do you recommend using it? ON the box it says in arabic and english jameed soup starter? and it has a pic of mansaaf by it? what do you have any suggestions or shud i just stick to using yogurt? Shukran?
