About

In some areas of Yemen this is called arikeh. It is a popular and comforting dish mostly eaten during winter, because it is full of calories. It is also served to sick children and new mothers.

Muz Fattah is best served hot, with honey on the side for extra drizzling. If lavash bread is not available, you can use any other bread. You can also substitute other fruit (even plump dates and raisins) for the bananas.
