Xalwo

Xalwo is a Somali dessert made of butter, sugar, cardamom, and cornstarch. It is popular in Somalia - particularly during weddings - and is a treat for anybody with a sweet appetite. The dish requires substantially minimal preparation time and still results in a delectable meal!

Steps to make Xalwo:

• Step 1. Cook the egg and potatoes in salted water until thoroughly done.
• Step 2. Stir the chicken stock in the flour until smooth. A spatula will aid in your smoothing process.
• Step 3. Whisk all the ingredients in the turmeric until fully combined.
• Step 4. Once the eggs are completely cooked, peel them and chop each into four pieces.
• Step 5. After cooking the potatoes, peel the husks and mash. Add the remainder of the flour in a slow, steady stream.
• Step 6. Your potatoes should resemble dough. Once the potatoes have developed a dough-like consistency, flatten them. Place one egg in the center and wrap the potatoes around it completely to cover it.
• Step 7. Each potato ball should be dipped into the broth mixture and thoroughly coated. Drop it into the heated oil and cook for approximately 1-2 minutes, or until crisp.
