Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute this book's "Seven-spice mix (Saba'a baharat)" for commercial Arabic seven spice, and this book's "Yogurt, mint, and cucumber salad (Khyar bil laban)" for yogurt.

    sooooo i really wanna like this dish but :( it was my first time cooking basmati rice, idk if i cooked it wrong but it was still a bit too moist but if i cooked it any longer i feel like it’ll be mush so i just took it out. some of the veggies stuck to the bottom of my pan so it’s not as pretty as the cover pic. taste wise, its okay. it had soooo much eggplant flavor. i dont mind eggplant, but now i dont think i wanna eat eggplant for a while lol. idk if i just made it wrong but i did follow instructions to the T. this dish wasnt for me.
