Salam taky Ibrahim...
Interesting to know about Qatari tradition of cooking kharoof, it seems like they are really generous people...
I agree with you, our way of cooking Shia way healthier than theirs…
Since head of your kharoof ended up with the Butcher, then no worries about ruin your appetite
with my story…. People with sensitive stomach please do not read the story…it is gross...sorry in advance for any discomfort...!!

So, one day...long ago… when I was young, I saw how my mom ”Allah yerhamha” clean the head of kharoof…
after removing the skin, cutting the ear cleaning the throat, tongue and the nose with plenty of water came the traumatic step
which was hitting the head-nose first- against a flat piece of rock few times to clear the sinuses from mucous…it was an obvious
important step which ended up with 2-3 big worms coming out of the nose with a nasty green secretion (obviously the poor
kharoof was suffering from a complicated chronic sinusitis)..loool… since that day it never crossed my mind to try to eat any
part of the head….now you telling me the Qatari people cook the whole thing together…hmmmm…if I am in front of that big dish
probably will be imagining one of those worms mixed with the rice…unless I gave myself a good session of Post Traumatic Desensitization to recover first…
may be telling myself that kharoofs in Qatar less likely will have bad sinusitis like that one in Juba…loool

By the way, give yourself big credit for knowing how to clean and prepare Kamonia, it is not an easy task for sure...thumb up
