Cuisine with Chords #6 X Dubai Nostalgia

A few years back I traveled to Dubai to visit one of my "Teenhood" friends. She got married to a great guy and moved there. I could make multiple posts about my Dubai experience and I will at some point. One think however, that was very amazing is the food. Anyone who lives in Berlin appreciates Arabian or Lebanese cooking. But being in Dubai and haven it the authentic way was a whole other level. So this dish is very much inspired by that. So turn on the music and dive into some Arabian Trap vibes.
