Makmoura
Makmoura is a traditional Jordanian dish associated with the rural areas of northern Jordan, including Ar-Ramtha, Huwwarah, and the villages of the northern Irbid Governorate.
This dish is commonly prepared for celebrations, family gatherings, and local festivals, and it has become an integral part of Irbid’s cultural identity.
Makmoura is primarily made from whole wheat flour, chicken or meat, olive oil, and generous quantities of finely chopped Onion. Makmoura was traditionally made to celebrate the olive harvest season, as it uses olive oil as a primary ingredient.
