Kabsa

In Saudi Arabia, Kabsa is a staple meal. There are various varieties, but the heart of Kabsa is either beef or chicken served with a heaping helping of rice and other side dishes. It is common for individuals to have Kabsa for lunch and dinner every day. It is the most popular Saudi Arabian dish.

It is served at all times. It tastes like a mash-up of rice, beef, onions, and various vegetables and spices. It is consumed by both the rich and the poor. Chicken Kabsa can be a fairly priced entrée because one large Kabsa can be ordered and shared by four persons. The dish is typically eaten with one's fingers, but a fork or spoon can be used if desired.

Kabsa is a rice dish popular throughout the Arabian Peninsula's Gulf States. Kabsa, which is heavily influenced by Persian and Indian biryanis, re-uses the water used to boil fish or meat to cook the seasoned, long-grain rice in, perfectly mixing all the flavors and spices.

Chicken, lamb, camel meat, fish, or even shrimp can be used to make this dish. The meat or fish is frequently put on top of the rice, and the entire dish is presented on a wide plate designed to be shared and eaten with one's hands. Although it originated in Yemen, this traditional rice and meat combination is extremely popular in Saudi Arabia, where it is regarded as a national meal. Kabsa is also known as machboos on the Arabian Peninsula.
