Harcha ~ Moroccan Semolina Pan Fried Flatbread

Harcha or Harsha is a Moroccan pan-fried bread made from fine semolina. It has a texture of cornbread, made rich with butter and milk.

Even though it does look like an English muffin, it has a cornbread in texture and taste. As always every family has different recipes for this bread. However, this one is quite rich as it has a lot of butter and milk added. This is supposed to be cooked in small discs and served right away.

Some recipes call for coating the final one in coarse semolina before frying. However, since I was using the semolina available locally, it was already coarse in texture. I served this with Apricot Jam and it was really very good. Peddu enjoyed it as such and said he remembers eating it before.

Though I had something else planned for this letter, I finally settled with this Harcha for my A to Z International Flatbreads. My H for Street Food is an interesting one that you can check.
