Zviti (Arabic: زفيطي), from M'sila, is a traditional vegetarian Algerian dish.[1] Zviti, along with Chakhchoukha, is one of the most popular meals in the Ouled Nail and the Bousaada area.[2][3] It is also known as Slata Mahras, named after the big wooden mortar and pestle that is also used for cooking and serving the dish (Mahras).[4] This traditional meal is served on special occasions and holiday celebrations.
