aseeda with mullah

Aseeda with mullah pairs a thick cooked grain preparation with stew, within food traditions shared by Sudan and South Sudan. Sorghum, millet or maize can form the base. Noela Mogga’s South Sudanese preparation starts with porridge, then adds more flour while stirring rapidly. Pieces are shaped with the fingers to scoop up stew.[1][2]

Mullah comes in different forms. Omer Eltigani’s tagalia uses minced beef in a tomato sauce with browned onion, coriander and garlic. Ground okra thickens it, and aseeda is one of its accompaniments.[3]
