This is a middle eastern dish that is served upside down. my mom ate and learned to make it in jordan while on a missions trip there. the first time i made it i took it to a church social and didn't get more than a bite. it disappeared so fast. the recipe that my mom brought home is quite vague but i have attempted to give some quantities. it might still need some tweaking. comments are welcome.
