This celebratory Omani dish is prepared on special festivals like Eid. To bring the mouth-watering flavour, it takes a long process (almost 1-2 days). The meat used to prepare the dish is typically lamb, goat, or camel. These are marinated with different kinds of spices, wrapped with banana leaves and baked into an underground sand oven.

It is kneaded as thin as it gets and then stuffed with other ingredients, and then baked for about 5 minutes.
