About Fatta with Dates
Matbakh Semsem presents this date fatta with cream and honey alongside the traditional sweet fatta family of southern Saudi Arabia. The published household version begins with homemade wholewheat bread, combined with dates and ghee.
Dates and honey provide sweetness, with cream and ghee adding dairy richness. Nigella seeds finish the dish; the source does not add the warm spices or liquid milk mentioned in the catalogue’s broader description.
The baked bread is broken down with dates into small crumbs, then placed in a serving dish beneath the cream and honey. This named household rendition retains the author’s toppings and leaves the baking-surface greasing medium unspecified.
