    Thanks a lot sister for ur wonderfull website. its a treasure for every somali person. I like the way you serv them, very elegant. Keep on :)

  • Salaam. This is good, however when I added chickpeas to the recipe, I could not really taste the spices. I usually use the Somali Samosa recipe. I noticed it has double the amount of spices and includes cardamom. I love that recipe and have used it many times. I love your website and your recipes by the way. :)

  • Absolutely delicious! I added shredded chicken and used a can of mixed peas and carrots. The spices were on point, thanks!
