Chef tips
For a rich and creamy Lachsa, be sure to sauté the onions and tomatoes until they are completely soft before adding the eggs. This allows the flavors to meld perfectly with the Hawaij spice blend. To elevate the meal, sprinkle some salty feta cheese on top or add a handful of cooked fava beans. Kids will love helping to crumble the cheese and dipping fresh bread or Lahoh into the savory sauce.
