​ Emirati Chebab 

Chebab is an Emirati pancake made of slightly fermented batter using yeast, which is flavored with cardamom and saffron, usually enjoyed with honey and /cheese. It’s super easy to prepare and makes a great lunch box recipe too! 

Weekend breakfasts are mostly my favorite Chebab’s especially on a Friday morning…gives the whole Jumuah vibe..hehe

We as a family, gather around the table right before the husband goes for Jumuah and we have Chebab for brunch/breakfast for a glass of black tea or coffee, dry fruits and fresh fruits.

Chebab is widely served in most Arabic /Emirati restaurants as a breakfast dish. It is soft and super delicious too! It is a hit among the kids, they keep coming for more, well my Ms. Picky eater does! 😁
