Chebakia

Chebakia is a chewy, crunchy, and fragrant Moroccan pastry made by arranging strips of dough into a flower shape. It is then fried, coated in honey, and sprinkled with sesame seeds. This sweet treat is traditionally prepared during the month of Ramadan, and is typically served alongside harira. It takes a lot of time and effort to prepare chebakia, so Moroccan women often ask sisters, mothers, or friends to help them in making large quantities of these cookies.
