Somali Biryani with Shidni Chutney
A colourful dish reserved for feasts and celebrations…
A favourite meal of spicerer Faduma (whose mum gave us the recipe!), biryani (or surbiyaan) is an aromatic rice dish served across the Arabian Peninsula - including Somalia and Yemen. The dish includes xawaash (pronounced hawash), a blend of cinnamon, cumin, turmeric and other spices widely used in Somali cooking.
The biryani is served here with an irresistible tamarind and date chutney (called shidni), as well as a green chilli and coriander sauce known as bizbaz. To finish the meal there’s green beans cooked with berbere - a chilli spice blend used throughout the horn of Africa - and a refreshing salad.
