Anyone know of any decent recipes involving coconuts? I was thinking that there must be some but I can't think of any.
Doesn't have to be desserts/waax macaan stuff too.
Edit: Also what are the various words for coconut in afkeena for that matter?

I can only think of sweets like kashaato and qumbe Maybe maharago with coconut milk but that’s more swahili
I saw this youtube video from Bon Appetit, from Somali chef Hawa Hassan-- she makes digaag qumbe, a Somali chicken stew, and it has coconut in it! I've been meaning to try it out!!
Here is a link if you want to see it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5RXl3AZh-Y
I think I'm gonna make this, this looks like it but skipping cilantro cause I don't mess around with that.
I LOVE COCONUTS! I used to make myself coconut milk with the nalgene iyo biyo. Was so delicious and I miss it. That and cambuulo are the main things I miss about Somalia. The cambuulo and coconut milk just don’t hit the same way in the states. Also used to eat so much of it like a fatty and didn’t gain a single pound.
How about coconut biis baas. Adding jalapeno, coconut, lemon,garlic,salt, oil and cilantro through the juicer.
Sambuus with coconut filling is great. Coconut basbaas as well
Sxb google/ youtube / internet can give you much better answers. Even ChatGPT
Coconut bisbas! So good! I tried it in xamar and couldn’t stop thinking about it. There is a recipe on xawash that I use.
I need to try this!!
Hmmm, so does it replace the tamarind/xamar or is it layered on top?
I meant xamar as in Mogadishu. Here is the recipe. Scroll down.
