Asida (Arabic: عصيدة, or Maghrebiġsydë, pronounced), a common dish in the Arab world, is a lump of dough made by stirring wheat flour into boiling water, sometimes with added butter or honey. Similar in texture to fufu, it is eaten mainly in Middle East and African countries. It is considered one of the best-known desserts and traditional dishes in many Arab countries. Asida is particularly common in Sudan, Morocco, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Yemen, Ethiopia, Eritrea, and the rest of the Middle East.
