Manakish
#nonindian - Manakish is a very popular Arabic bread made of plain flour and is topped with Zaatar (Middle Eastern Spice) and cheese. It is generally had as breakfast with olives, cucumbers and tomatoes. They are also served for the main course with meat, hummus and salads. It is almost similar to Pizza. But I gave a twist to the original recipe and made it with whole wheat flour and topped with some Idli podi (gun powder) and cheese - a la Indian style. It is very easy to make and they go well as snacks with hummus.

Manakish Manakish
After a Persian cuisine craze last year, I am still craving for more Middle Eastern cuisines. I had fallen in love with the ingredients they used just as much as how I missed having a wonderful aroma in my kitchen. The thought of making this flatbread came when I wanna make use of my leftover sumac. "Instead of buying a ready-made za'atar, why not use my sumac to make my own, and why do I need za'atar? Yes! Manakish!" I was talking to myself in monologue. Lol!Bread is our 1st food. Until to this day, we are still eating bread, especially flatbread, in all shapes and forms all across the globe. It is fascinating! Munching down a flatbread, we can taste different kinds of ingredients from different countries and cultures. Especially the wonderful aroma that's coming out of the oven. I feel like I am walking down the streets of a Middle Eastern country.I serve my manakish with a simple salad on the side. I couldn't find any fresh cucumber and mint in my local grocery store, so I replace them with shredded carrot and finely chopped coriander, respectively. I wanna keep this 100% vegan. I used a vegan feta cheese, which is a tofu-based cheese and sprinkled all over my manakish. This is a fairly easy dish to make and I hope you will give this recipe a try and have your kitchen filled with an amazing aroma.
