The word dolma, of Turkish origin, means "something stuffed".
The Arabic term for stuffed (mahshi)
in Greece, the word dolmades is used.
Fresh Grape leaves are the best, but when none available you can use the ones in the jar. Use young, good quality ones for the best result.
Since I am using Egyptian recipe(most of the time, no meat is used), I am going to use Egyptian rice.
Egyptian rice is a very short grain rice, grown in Egypt
It is not cooked the same way as medium or long grain rice.
When cooked, it is supposed to have a fluffy texture, not at all sticky.
