    Hi! At the end of the recipe is the Kabsa spice mix, but it's not mentioned anywhere in the recipe. What do we do with it?

    Al Kabsa – Traditional Saudi Rice & Chicken Dish, Al Khabsa / Khabsa is very traditional. It can be made with many variations – this is just one of them – I hope to post more! Use chicken for this recipe, my others have lamb instead…..I have revised the recipe as of 09/02/09, although when I cook it the amounts are correct – perhaps it’s the rice use?, Hi! At the end of the recipe is the Kabsa spice mix, but it’s not mentioned anywhere in the recipe. What do we do with it?, Wow this was a delish recipe! I made it for my husband and he said it was the best kabsa hes ever had! I also cut down the water to 3 cupscanned tomatoes also have juices. And used the same recipe for lamb kabsa. Perfect!
