A similar starch found in Palestinian cuisine is called maftool or maftoul. It is hand-rolled by professionals in large clay pans. Maftoul is a wheat-based dish that is somewhat served like couscous (or Moughrabia as it is known in Lebanon and Syria), with whole black peppers, dried cloves, onions and chickpeas or tomato sauce.[1] Maftool, like most couscous dishes, is served with chicken.
