I like somali food, it's tasty. in fact, there is this restaurant in toronto called hamdi that has really good food. but it's still very unhealthy, too much oodkac, basto iyo bariis is not good for you.

Senora Posted June 5, 2009 You are so right about practicing with the anjera...I was hoping I would be alright with your recipe, but you're probably right about the pancake mix (great idea btw). I tried watching my mom do it, but whenever I got home to try it myself, I ended up throwing away the tests and the batter....will practice for breakfast tomorrow with the pancake mix so I wont throw anything away.

Aaliyyah Posted June 5, 2009 ^^keep practicing you'll be fine, I was there too...getting frustrated at my canjeelo mix looool...its ok u'll perfect it salaam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AminaTammy Posted June 5, 2009 I can't take the credit on the pancake mix though...I saw my sister in law do it. It is perfect though because you don't need to let it sit. And it is really cheap to make. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aaliyyah Posted June 5, 2009 anytime supuu sis.... For me sabayad was always easier than laxoox/ canjeelo/canjeero, but at the end of the day once I got the hang of how to mix and make canjeelo I find it a whole lot easier both mixing and making it...unlike sabayad thats both time and energy consuming... salaam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AminaTammy Posted June 5, 2009 but it's still very unhealthy, too much oodkac, basto iyo bariis is not good for you. [/QB] Most places (even our house) you have a big plate of rice, some chicken or meat and a small salad. The solution is to make the rice or pasta a side dish, baked chicken and a bigger salad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cara. Posted June 5, 2009 Welcome to SOL Amina. I think someone found your page sometime ago and posted it here actually. For canjeelo, I just use self-raising flour, cheaper than pancake mix and fewer additives I bet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aaliyyah Posted June 5, 2009 ^in my house we use bur canjeelo..which is like self raising flour i think, dnt even know how much it costs. My mom buys it from some somali store. will keep in mind ur suggestion Cara.. salaam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goodir Posted June 5, 2009 ^Have you tried Kirishoow Mirish? A friend made it last week and it was fantastic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kool_Kat Posted June 5, 2009 If canjeero is not made with qamiir, it is tasteless...Might as well eat pancakes... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Naxar Nugaaleed Posted June 6, 2009 This is impressive Tammy. If I may suggest, one of my Favorite Sabayad dish is foto moos or as the yemenis say fatah Mauz. put Ripe bananas (one for each Sabayad), little honey or suger, ghee and dates if you like in food processor mixed it up and bon appetit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guledm Posted June 6, 2009 WOW, chicken sabaya, my stomach is in love. These somali restaurants in toronto need to get on your blog in my opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
