Egyptian Stuffed Grape Leaves - Dolma Mahshi

Egyptian stuffed grape leaves
The star here are the lime juice and tomatoes (make sure to have both-for fresh leaves use 2 limes instead of 1, for canned leave, 1 is enough)

Main Ingredients:
4 cups of rice
1 canned grape leaves
4 onions
6 tomatoes - in the food processor
tomato paste (full can or 4 tbsp - a lot :) )
1 jalapeno
1 lime juice
1 tbsp butter

Rice Stuffing:
1 3/4 or 2 tbsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp dried mint
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp coriander
(optional) red crushed pepper or add Jalapeno as I did
1/2 tsp garlic paste
1 tsp chicken powder bouillon
Onion and tomato mix from stove top
1 parsley
1 cilantro
I do not like to add dill :) but it is up to you

While wrapping the leaves, make sure that the ones with clear vines are facing up
Add 1 tsp on each flat leave
Roll as shown on video

In the pot, add layer of tomatoes and onions and 1 to 2 tbsp olive oil

Layer the leaves in circles - leave tiny spaces for soup to go through

Add tomato on top, 1 tbsp butter pieces,1 lime juice and jalapeño

Add soup slowly from side - soup can be whatever but you have to add 1 tbsp tomato paste for reddish color

Cook and simmer for 30 mins

Before you flip. Drain it first carefully

How many cups of rice? And before stuffing the grape leaves the rice is raw, yes?
