2ozi? Mish hay souriye? The way we do 2ozi is rice + peas stuffed in a pastry and there is no soup next to it...

I am a little confused about 2ozi.. there are 2 ways to make ozi??
I found 2 different recipes for 2ozi.

I swear I am not doing as much as [I should] for you, but I swear I've been so busy lately, and of course soon as I first go to Lebanon I will meet up with you, and we'll definitely go to Syria

Not that I would ever cook peas (bazila) and chicken together... But thank you Tislami

if 2ozi is the same as qoozi.. I believe that the iraaqi way is to have a dish with white rice (could have the nuts and the sha3riya in it) and pieces of meat (and im guessing chicken too :P) on top.. the meat is usually cooked in a kind of tamoto'y sauce, but is simmered right down so its more a dry sauce.. if this helps anyone?

How to say in Saudi / Palestinian:

1) "about Australia"
2) grade for the cleanliness at Africa's restaurant

yes thats right noona, actually it's the 1st time I hear of 2ozi, which country is that cooked in?
in Iraq we have 8ozi

Its the same thing, we call it 2ozi. Its rice with bazela (peas) and you stuff it in a pastry like a ball shape..thats the syrian way I think iraqis do it without the pastry..
