What is round, goes around, comes around. To us, that sums the story of the Somali Malawah (Malawax). We wish to think that the crepe originated in the Horn of Africa. The Horn is the home of the Ethiopian Injera, the Eritrean Injera, Somali Anjero or Lahoh, Malawah, and Ambaabur. It is not clear and convincing evidence, but you cannot ignore the balance of probabilities.
The round Malawah was borrowed. It had eggs, milk, butter, and sugar added to it as it went around. It then came around, back to the Horn. 🙂 Food evolves…
The traditional Malawah is made with flour and water only. It is quick and easy and can be made at a moment’s notice. It is a lifesaver if the cat spills the anjero batter (a good excuse if you forgot to prepare the anjero batter the night before).
To serve it, Malawah is drizzled with ghee (subag) and sprinkled with ample sugar. This makes it great for breaking the fast in Ramadan. Malawah is also served with savoury dishes like suqaar, been dallac (dallac bilaash), and stews. It is not as absorbent as anjero but that will not be a hindrance if you are well-versed in the arts of fiteeys and rifaaqid. Fiteeys is breaking any bread (rooti, muufo, anjero, malawah) into very small pieces and combining it with a stew. This is usually done with stale bread that has somewhat hardened and is less absorbent. Rifaaqid is when you take things to a whole new level. Your hand turns into a blender and you mush the food together. You wouldn’t know what you are eating, but it tastes amazing nevertheless!
Zahra Kassim gave us the recipe for the Enriched Malawah. She also gave us the idea of serving malawah with coconut milk. In her version, the coconut milk is cooked with sugar then applied to the malawah.

Preparing the batter Place the Malawah ingredients in a blender.
Blend for 1 minute (or until there are no lumps in the batter).
Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking the Malawah To get 15 malawah, scoop ⅓ cup of the batter. We used a 10 inch (25.4 cm) pan.
Tilt and rotate the pan so that the batter covers the bottom of the pan and runs all around the edge.
Cook the malawah for 2 minutes on medium heat. If your malawah is thicker, you will need to cook it longer.

Thank you for your comment. You can use butter instead of the coconut milk, and for the marmalade use any type of jam you like. The nuts are not a must, you can do without them.
