Recipe: Appetizing Somali rice (isku-karis)

Somali rice (isku-karis). I like to serve bariis isku karis with cadriyaad and a simple salad of sliced tomatoes, onion and chopped chilli. This dish also goes well with Zab roast lamb or roast goat. Cut all the vegetables into a blender and put half a cup of water (add more if needed) and blend.

In construction, it is very similar to East African pilau rice, however, instead of While many recipes incorporate a meat stock for cooking the rice, this one has used tomatoes (which is a typical ingredient for this dish in Somali cooking). The heady scent of the spices and the cooking rice always take me back to childhood memories of waiting impatiently for my mother to serve bariis isku karis.
