I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my niter kibbeh turned out really bland. Maybe I didn't use enough spices.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would try using less butter next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I can see how others would enjoy it. The niter kibbeh had a nice flavor, but I would probably use less chili powder next time.
