Asida

Rice, Grain and Starch Dishes

Asida is a common dish across the Arab world made by stirring wheat flour into boiling water, sometimes with added butter or honey, into a lump of dough similar in texture to fufu. It is eaten mainly in the Middle East and parts of Africa, particularly Sudan, Morocco, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Yemen, Ethiopia and Eritrea, and is often served during religious holidays such as Mawlid and Eid and at traditional ceremonies including the naming and hair cutting of a newborn, as well as traditionally at breakfast and to women in labor.
