    Dear Huma, I am an enthusiastic Non-vegetarian and was attracted by the very title of your recipe. Actually I turned to the Comments page, in order to inquire of you, what Kutta gehoon was and saw your explanation, "Broken Wheat". I am sure that you are aware that in broken wheat there are size catagories for use in different preparations, both spicy and sweet. We in India have the Suji or Rava gradations, thick for Porridge, medium for Upama and fine for Laddoos; Atta for Rotis; and the fully ground, non-gritty flour Maida for Cakes. This information will help you to tell me, which coarse grade you use for this soup, which please do. Being senior in age, I have enjoyed the Multani dishes in my young age during the British Raj but have no clear idea of what you call Arabic food, except one called "Ran"(Roasted goat leg). I would encourage you to put up a variety of Arabic recipes. Regards.
