A Taste of Somalia.

Assalamu Alaikum, Hello!



The past week has been the most hectic one in the entire semester! Submission, activities and more submissions! Thank goodness for the Labour's Day holiday. made my weekend feel longer :p
 Hope you guys enjoyed your weekend!

Any way, back to business. Yes, food. And this time, Somali food!

Suaad introduced us to her favourite Somali dish- Anjera & oodkac, usually eaten at breakfast.

Anjera is fermented pan bread that looks like a thin pancake, eaten that with "oodkac" which is small dried pieces of beef, goat or camel meat, boiled in ghee.

Anjera can also be mixed with tea and sesame oil, or with honey and ghee, and washed down with a cup of tea.






What's surprising is Anjera is what Indians call Dosa! Its fermented and prepared in the same manner.

Who knows if Anjera travelled from Somalia to India, or if the vice versa happened!
