Today I will share with you the wonderful Egyptian Fattah recipe, which is distinguished by its wonderful taste and delicious shape.

There are many recipes for the Egyptian gesture made by non-Egyptians.

But since I am of Egyptian origin, I will share with you the original recipe for the Fattah as we Egyptians do

What is Egyptian Fattah?

Fattah is authentic Egyptian food.

I don’t think this recipe is found this way anywhere in the world. Fatta is associated with the Egyptians with beautiful occasions.

It is attended at weddings and parties and is also the main dish in Eid al-Adha (Eid al-Adha is an Islamic fest ) for the Egyptians.

Al-Fattah is distinguished by its wonderful taste and full of authentic Arabic spices

Most people who visit Egypt for the first time must try it.

What is Egyptian Fatta Made Of?

Fattah is white rice, meat and pita bread served in layers and covered with tomato sauce with garlic.

In this recipe, I will share with you how to make and prepare each ingredient.

First, we will make the meat broth, then we will prepare the pita bread, tomato sauce then the white rice.

In order to get the wonderful taste of the Egyptian Fattah, we must start making the meat broth, because we will use it in the rest of the ingredients.

Tips to make the Egyptian Fattah Faster

The Egyptian Fattah, as we mentioned, has four ingredients, and this may give the impression that it may take a long time, but this is not true.

For example, making meat and soup may take about 55 broth, of which 45 minutes are cooking time.

My advice here is to use this time to prepare the pita bread as well as the tomato sauce, so you can make the best Egyptian Fattah dish in less than an hour and a half
