Kubba Mosul is one of the most famous types of Iraqi kubba, named after the northern city of Mosul, where it's especially popular. It differs from Aleppo or Lebanese kibbeh in the technique used for the outer shell, where fine bulgur is kneaded with a little flour or starch until it becomes very thin and dough-like.

Mosul-style kubba is shaped into flat discs rather than the usual oval shape, filled with a mixture of sautéed minced meat, onion, and Iraqi spices, then deep-fried until very crispy on the outside.
