Shakriya

Shakriya is a traditional Levantine dish made with tender lamb or beef cooked in a creamy yogurt-based sauce. The dish is flavored with garlic, onions, and warm spices like cinnamon and cardamom, giving it a rich and comforting taste. The yogurt sauce is carefully simmered to maintain its smooth texture, often stabilized with cornstarch or egg. Shakriya is typically served with rice or bulgur, making it a hearty and flavorful meal, especially popular in Syrian, Jordanian, and Palestinian cuisine.
