Arabic name for the plant called jew's mallow, the main ingredient of a popular Arab dish by the same name.

Mulukhiyya is prepared in two ways: the Lebanese, where the leaves are left whole and are cooked with stew meat, garlic, and dried coriander; and the Egyptian style, in which the finely chopped leaves are cooked with chicken, rice, vinegar, and finely chopped onion. Eating mulukhiyya is prohibited within the Druze community.

— TAYEB EL-HIBRI
