Thank you!!

I am Puerto Rican. I’ve never had somalian food but i love eating other culture’s food. I’ll be making this sweet bread today.
By the way, i once took care of a somalian little girl and her mother brought her lunch. It was basmati rice but inside the rice there was cummin seeds. That rice smelled so aromatic. Does anyone happen to have a recipe?
Hi Ida,
Thanks for stopping by, I will be posting that Somali rice soon.

Salaam Ali,
There is a good recipe with a video you can find it at Somali Recipes

Welcome it is good to have you here, and I hope you will enjoy the recipes and if you need anything let me know.
Hi my name is zeenat , I am pakistani and love pakistani food so much but a few weeks ago I tried somalian food . I loved it so much it was really tasty. Yummy
Hi Zeenat
I am glad you are enjoying the recipes, thanks for sharing
you are a hero… thank you!
Salaam admin I wanted to ask you there a recipe it’s like sambuusa but it’s chicken and cheese pastry it’s spicy too would you be able to give it to me thank you
Hi i am a somali boy who is 14 yrs old and know how to cook sambousa and some other food but want to learn how to cook other food for ramadan so i was wondering how much this makes.
You can get the best
I am so happy you shared your story with us, so glad you are can cook sambousa I think if you mastered that everything else should be a breeze. This recipe depends on how small or big you cut your shapes. Thanks you Abdullahi.
thank u so much i tried it and my family enjoyed it thanks it was great
I actually added chocolate in the form of hot chocolate and vanilla instead of the cardamon. Tasted absolutely amazing.
That sounds delicious! Thanks for letting me know appreciated!
