What changes the number
- The fried onions. Mujadara's crispy onions are fried; more of them adds oil. These samples had only 0.5 g of fat per 100 g.
- Rice under the stew. Molokhia, bamieh and fasoulia are usually served over rice, which adds its own calories.
- Nuts and ghee. Toasted nuts and ghee on rice dishes add more.
