Somali Women Try Other Somali Women's Bariis Iskukaris

[HiraanBorn]

The urbanities of the South do not represent most of the South who have not deviated much from their nomadic eating habits. And if we're keeping it 100. My father worked as an Engineer in Southern Somalia working on projects in the 70s. They were barely eating fish at the time. Requesting farms to be built along the coastline. Even the ajnaabi Engineers were wondering how misguided/clueless these people were when they could fish. FYI their cuisine wasn't as dexterous or as memorable as you are portraying it to be but keep believing that. The Cadcads (which are the ones doing the laborious cooking) can mostly make pastries. Do you think pastries and baasto are an amazing feat/contribution to the Somali diet? They are not.

It seems you don't like seeing any criticism directed at the north but that wasn't my intention. I'm just talking about what I've heard from people who have been to both north and south. I guess some people take things too seriously.

I must be living in a cave coz I never knew south and north have different diets

Heard they eat camel hump up North, sounds grim

My ayeyo is reer mudug (central south-ish somalia) and we grew up eating camel hump/kurus, odkac, berr, canjero with subag, maraq iyo muufo, cambulo & cano geel. Hated it as a kid but it is an acquired taste lol. Somalis from baadiyaha (doesn't matter which region) generally have cleaner simpler diets.

The one dish I still can't is caloleey

YAMS don't like English accent. YAMS thinks it sounds pretentious with a mouth full of water.

I can confirm unfortunately, I've been to a waqooyi household for lunch, the suugo on the baasto was completely lifeless. I had to eat cambuulo to cleanse my palate

Woow, at least she was generous enough to feed him Kraft dinner. I'm a southern halimo who has a fetish of starving faraxyaal

Cereals and water should be enough

If an apocalypse happened and we were thrown back to the stone age, calool would be your favorite food.

A southern halimo who cooks mushy
Baris isku karis
I would like to apologize to my northern sisters
I'll take kraft dinner over that mush bariis any day .

We can all agree calooley should be banned from somali cuisine. I dont know how somali women could eat that qashin.
Abaayo vanessa stop eating calooley it's very unhealthy.

Sarah had a tough one, no hilib made it a tough battle to even win

Mashallah to the ladies

My bariis iskukariis always coming out mushy, cant estimate the right amount of water for the life of me..

Do you use your finger to measure how much water you need?

 

[Hodan from HR]

Never did that, isn't the water hot?
I just approximate after I mix the rice and spices. Tbh, my bariis comes out good when I use pressure cooker coz it has instructions on how much water to put in

Mine is always too wet. Therefore I used less water last time and it was too little -_-
The next time I'm making iskukariis I'm gonna use my finger to measure it

I add less water and then when it’s half cooked I put the lid on it. Turn off the heat and let the rice cook in its own steam.
