This looks very good. My father loves coconut, so may have to make some for a gift.
We ate at a small Somali restaurant in St.Cloud, MN (I think that's where it was.) and the food was different from anything we'd tried before. But wonderful. Thanks for sharing your recipes.
Hi Rebecca,
Many thanks for your comment, let me know how it turns out for you.
I am making it right now. It is not cooled down yet. But the paste tastes really yummy. I wonder how many days you can store it. I like this recipe since it doesn't ask for so much sugar.
