❓ FAQ

How do I prepare raisins for kabsa?
Rinse and dry them well, stir them in hot ghee until they puff, then scatter them over the rice with fried onions.

Do black raisins taste different from golden ones?
Black raisins keep the grape's dark colour and taste deeper and sweeter, while golden raisins are lighter and slightly tangier.

Why do raisins stick together?
Their natural fruit sugars make them cling. Separate them with your fingers, or toss them in a little flour before adding them to cake batter.

How far does 1 kg of raisins go?
It usually covers several family rice dishes and cake fillings, because a small handful gives clear sweetness.
