Somali Xawaash spice blend
Somali Xawaash spice blend
Xawaash (pronounced Ha-wash) comes from the Arabic word hawaij, which is used to describe Yemeni spice blends. Xawaash features in just about every Somali dish going. It’s like the garam masala of Somalia, and the mix of flavours is truly the flavour of the Indian Ocean. Use this seasoning in your curry, stews or even in your bolognese.
Ingredients
Turmeric, Fenugreek, Cumin, Cloves, Black Pepper
