Our Assyrian Family Style Kulecheh (i.e. kleecha, Klecha, Kleejah)/ الكليجة العراقية

There are so many ways of spelling and pronouncing the word Kulecheh. Also, there are so many variations in making it depending who makes it. But, the result is always deliciously the same.
We all enjoy making Kulecheh as it brings families, neighbours, friends together to help each other. That's how it used to be back in Iraq.
