A dish of Aseer
The Aseer region is known for areeka, which Saudipedia describes as easy to make and highly nutritious, and so an ideal breakfast. It is also a traditional dish of the Ramadan iftar.
How it is made
A soft dough is cooked on a griddle, then served on a plate ringed with dates, with ghee and honey poured over it.
Among the dishes of the south
Areeka is listed among the dishes of the southern coast alongside aseeda, radifa, mifa bread and daghabis, and it is one of the kneaded foods eaten with three fingers in some regions.
