ReplyDeleteAssalamuAlaykum Sister Amina
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the Malawa recipe.
I LOVE it. I just made it and my family loved it a lot.
I am Indian by origin, but I had many many friends from Somalia when I was in US. I always ate Malawa and Bur all the time.
I tried this recipe for the first time and i m in love with it.
Thanks a lot for sharing wonderful recipes.
Ramadan Kareem

ReplyDeleteIt sounds like the batter was too thick. Also the pan wasn't hot enough. You maybe put too much as well.
Making anjera and malawa can be soooo tricky. It also depends on the pan.
Salaams,
ReplyDeleteSimple ingredients and very easy to make - my kinda recipe. I luv it.
Thanks,
Years ago I had malawa with a red puree (maybe roasted red pepper?). Do you know of this puree?
ReplyDeleteI made this this morning and we ate it with brown sugar and oodka. yummmy! thanx
ReplyDeleteThank you
