Street food Molokhia — the authentic version

The best Molokhia I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The subtly herbal intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. fenugreek seeds was used without hesitation, the way it should be.

Egyptian cuisine is one of the oldest recorded food cultures, with accounts dating to pharaonic times. The a Cairo street stall at lunchtime setting meant eating standing up or on a low stool, which is how this food is supposed to be encountered. karkadeh hibiscus tea was sold right next to it. Don't wait to find the 'right' restaurant. Find the street version first.
