"From Real Stew by Clifford Wright. Posted for "You Want What?" recipe tag. A Middle Eastern recipe whose roots come from the Persian Gulf, where it is served traditionally with rice rather than pasta. This recipe departs from that with the fresh addition of spaghetti. You can use a spice grinder or small dedicated coffee mill to freshly grind your spices."
