I just tried it, right now. I didn't have jalapeno or peppers. I added oil and onions first and cooked them till they were brown, then added meat. After a while I added potatoes, carrots and that weird thing cilantro or whatever it is called, along with the tomato that I made mushy and water. I think I am f-king up. It is like red water and I can't salvage this.
How do I fix this? I also forgot salt. Shit isn't looking right.
The suugo should be ready when the potatoes are soft. Lower the heat. Add salt. Taste! Keep stirring so it doesn't get stuck on the bottom of the pot/burn.
Did you add tomato paste/sauce?

It actually turned out OK and I am going to eat it with some Baasto in a couple of minutes. I shouldn't have panicked and added too much salt.
But other than that, I am proud of my freakish creation. It isn't great but it is alright, I suppose.
Lillaahiya, I added tomatoes that I mushied in the food processor. I didn't add the puree thing because I don't have it and maybe that's why my suugo looks orangish-yellow. Also, I skimmed a shit load of oil from the top. Sigh but it is OK.

I didn't have it and I didn't think it was this important.
Why is it so important? Dammnit man. I will buy all the ingredients tomorrow and try again. I will also add mushrooms.

Ok, shit was really bad folks. The Baasto turned out uncooked and the suugo was like water and salt with undercooked potatoes. I gave up and now I am boiling two eggs. Thanks Lillahiya but I will try it again.

They added sugar? Wow. Well, follow their instructions minus the sugar, and don't blend the onions!

Impressive. That website is really good. Why didn't I discover it when I most need Somali food?
Also, Canjeero/Canjeelo/Laxoox. I don't even know where to start. Firstly, fuck yeast. Second, I can't do the circular motion without destroying it.

FFS. All of you do that. Every person I ever ask goes, "well I don't really measure". Why man? Why?
Just follow this recipe
