Steps to make Finger-Licking Egyptian Molokhia:
Clean the chicken, rub it with salt and pepper, and place it in a large saucepan. Cover it with 2.5 liters of water. Add onion and cardamom pods. Bring to a boil while removing the foam that appears on the surface of water.
Once water starts boiling, reduce heat and flavor with salt and pepper. Simmer with lid on until meat is tender (about 60 minutes).

After boiling the chicken, around 2 liters of broth should remain. If it isn’t the case you can adjust either by adding some extra water or by boiling the broth a little bit longer.
Once you have the right amount of water, add the frozen molokhia to the simmering broth, let it defrost for around 10mn, then stir gently and turn off the heat. Make sure not to cover the saucepan.
For the garlic sauce or “takleya”: in a frying pan mix vegetable oil, garlic, coriander, and chili pepper. Heat over medium fire until garlic starts changing color.
Stir the “takleya” mixture into the simmering broth and keep cooking it for an extra 2 minutes. Season according to taste.
