I found out about Alia’s YouTube channel while I was living in Pakistan. It was halfway through the Muslim month of Ramadan, and I had become tired of eating fried pakoras, dates and sweet, milky vermicelli noodle pudding for the daily breaking of the fast meal at sundown. I wanted the thick, tangy Moroccan soup – called harira in Moroccan Arabic – that is eaten in Morocco for the occasion.
