• I Want To make Camaabur But I Dont Know Where i Can Find Millet Flour
  Please Can You tell me Where I Can Find the Flour?
  Thank You

  • You can find millet or sorghum flour from any indian grocery stores, or try your local natural food stores, or your local supermarket. depending where you live.
    You can also find online at Bobsredmill.com, Millet flour, or sorghum flour both will work in this recipe.
    if you cant find it is not a must really, you can add more plain flour instead.
    I hope this helps let me know how you get on.

  • Many thanks Nafisa, I am glad you liked the Cambaabur

• Salam! I was wondering how much turmeric and cumin to add? I didn't see it mentioned in the ingredients. Thanks

  • Salaam Faadumo,
    Thanks for pointing that out, you might need 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of turmeric. Start with 1/2 teaspoon and see if you like it or if it needs more then add more.

    I hope this helps.

• Salam tks for all wonderful receipts
  Made cambabour dozen time luv just wanted to know how to avoid the yeast any substude I'm willing to prepare batter one day before

  Tks

  • Thanks Nima,
    You could make everything the day before with yeast and let it ferment in the fridge overnight,
    or make the same day with out the yeast instead with self raising flour only.

    Let me know how it works out for you.

• This food was put on Aljazeera article that Somalis serve it during Eid day. and i never heard of it.
  Mainly, we server Biscuit,halwa and tea before breakfast and liver or meat with their soup and bread (canjeera).
  even most Somalis who live in Somalia do not use yogurt.

• Absolutely incredible Thank you. Also to those who have no idea about this dish, it is absolutely made every single Eid in Somalia mainly in Northern Somali and Djoubiti. My mom made it for us and now i enjoy doing the same for my kids. As we migrated to different parts of the world other Somalis have learned to enjoy it. We fry the top part with some sesame seed oil, butter or gee. It delicious.

  • Thanks for stopping by, I will try the sesame oil! sounds delicious :)
