Kisra with Mullah

Sudan · Sub-Saharan Africa

Short description: This meal pairs tangy, thin flatbread with a thick sauce that can be scooped, torn, and shared.
Ingredients: Fermented sorghum flatbread served with a sauce of okra or greens, meat or legumes, onion, tomato, and spices.
Cultural note: The flatbread works as both starch and utensil, making it practical for sauces served on a tray or shared platter.
Common misconception: Mullah is not a religious title here; in this food context it means a stew or sauce.
