    Thanks for this recipe. I was wondering if I could use chicken legs instead? What would change if you make it with chicken? cooking time? Please let me know, I can’t wait to try this!

      You can use chicken legs if you wish. You will need less water than we used. The first cooking time should be half hour. Add the potatoes after cooking the chicken for ten minutes. After the half hour, add the rice and steam for 20 minutes.

    Ramadan Kareem,
    Dear A&L,

    First and foremost, I cannot thank both of you enough for these fascinating and mouth-watering recipes you have created for us. I love your creativity, simplicity of your instructions, the sharpness of your clips, the authentic Somali music in the background and the purity of your kitchen.
    I’m 30 and never cooked in my life thanks to my wonderful mother who’s an excellent cook. Over the years, due to studies and employment I never had the time to learn how to cook, especially, some wonderful Somali dishes (Surbiyan, shurbad, sanbuse etc), and now that I have accidentally stumbled on your wonderful blog I cannot stay away from the kitchen area.

    I always thought cooking was the hardest thing that is out there, but you have restored my faith. Cooking is important to all cultures and communities and I certainly cannot turn the clock back but would like to stress a greater importance to teach the young generation about their roots and the risks of unhealthy eating. A great way to pique their interest in nutrition is to involve them more in the cooking process. They not only will learn to cook for themselves, but also develop a lifetime of healthy habits. A humble thank you.

    I have several questions: lamb is a fatty meat, so will the rice be full of fat, thus making it even longer to cook? And also can I use a different type of meat instead of lamb? Where can I purchase the orange blossom?

    • A&L
      July 30, 2014 | 1:41 am

      No, it won’t be full of fat. Make sure you trim as much of the fat as possible. You can buy the orange blossom water from middle eastern supermarkets. Yes, you can use different types of meat, but you have to adjust the cooking time depending on the type of meat.
