Makmoura (Arabic: مكمورة, romanized: makmūrah) is a traditional Jordanian dish associated with the rural areas of northern Jordan,[3][4][5] including Ar-Ramtha, Huwwarah, and the villages of the northern Irbid Governorate.[6][1]
This dish is commonly prepared for celebrations, family gatherings, and local festivals, and it has become an integral part of Irbid’s cultural identity.[7][8]
Makmoura is primarily made from whole wheat flour, chicken or meat, olive oil, and generous quantities of finely chopped Onion.[9][2][10] Makmoura was traditionally made to celebrate the olive harvest season, as it uses olive oil as a primary ingredient.[11]
