AminaTammy Posted June 4, 2009 Assalamu alaikum my brothers and sisters, I would first like to thank blessed for inviting me. I created a blog that showcases traditional and modern Somali cuisine. I am a Canadian woman that has been married for 15 years to a Somali brother. We have 5 kids and 1 cat. Now that I have introduced myself, I'd like to invite everyone to check out my blog. I'd love to hear your comments and suggestions. Amina http://tammyssomalih ome.blogspot.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lt-Qalbi-Adeyg Posted June 4, 2009 somali food is very unhealthy, you're better of learning some other types of cuisine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AminaTammy Posted June 4, 2009 Yes I agree to an extent, but, any food can be made healthier. Just by limiting the oil and ghee will reduce the amount of fat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hassan_B Posted June 4, 2009 A very Beneficial blog! Thank you Amina/Tammy. Even as a male I don't cook that much, at times I do get the urge to have a somali cousine. This kind of a blog is wonderful. I'm already digging your very methodical sabaya recipes! Wow! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aaliyyah Posted June 4, 2009 I have always known that bananas were an important part to most Somali diets. I just never realized exactly how important until I had a guest over for dinner. I had just put a large helping of pasta onto a plate when I noticed that we ran out of bananas. My guest exclaimed "Oh my God! God forbid there aren't any bananas!" This person was dead serious. I on the hand hand couldn't stop laughing. What is it about bananas that the majority of Somalis love to eat it with many of their dishes? I can still remember the day I saw someone eat a banana with pasta. I remember thinking that it was utterly disgusting....until I tried it. Let me tell you, you have never experienced real Somali pasta or rice if it wasn't eaten with a banana. lol Yeah we can not survive without banana.

Hassan_B Posted June 4, 2009 A banana goes very well with the salty sauce and cools the spiceness of the bisbaas. Very taste. Here in seattle, other local muslim communities such as the cham from loas/cambodia, have started eating their meals with bananas...

Just by limiting the oil and ghee will reduce the amount of fat. ghee used moderately is very healthy for you, not only does it fill you up with little food, but it also as many nutrients that are missing from the very processed oils we normally use.

Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted June 5, 2009 Moos bariis iyo soor ama sabaayad ku macaanyahay. Baastada xataa kuma xumo in lagu cuno, but kuwaas ka horeeyaan. Oobis, I guess the sister can't read Soomaali. Eniwey, welkam to SOL. *Sigh* Caloosha i yeereyso, it is trying in futile to establish a communication with those dishes, methinks. Fresh canjeero iyo fresh beer with koob kuleel shaah caddeys ah. Xaax. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
