I helped make a large batch yesterday. It wasn't as time consuming as I expected.

 

Hope the soom is going well for you all.

Am having ten sambuus in an hour's time. Grr.. here I come!!

[Polanyi]

[Haatu]

mmmm Sambuus. Can't wait for Ramadan. I haven't had sambuus and mandhaasi for ages. To think about it, I haven't had kaakac for years. I need to go to mum's and get some

[N.O.R.F]

and what is kaakac?

[Haatu]

^ Are you for real bro?

[N.O.R.F]

Yes. Never heard of it.

[Haatu]

Well how do I explain it? It's like some sort of mandhaasi only that it's much smaller and it's not hollow inside. Where's nuune when you need him

 

I'm surprised you don't know about it. I thought all Somalis ate it. But being northerner n all you probably call it by a different name

[N.O.R.F]

What is mandaasi?

 

Saxib, I still have no idea what you're talking about. Let me look in the Somali dictionary for south of mudug words lol

[Somalina]

I was wondering the same thing, so I googled it and now I know what Haatu is talking about.

 

I Hope this explanation helps you out.

"Kackac dough is more wet, cake like dough while mandhaasi dough has the consistency of buns. Thus kac kac are usually more thick and soft, whilst the mandhaasi tends to have more air in the center."
