Somali food is not spicy hot. It is unlike the cuisines of neighbouring countries that use a lot of hot spices. Somalis prefer to serve the hot sauce on the side just like the salt and pepper which everyone can adjust to his/her taste.
One thing you do not have to worry about when eating at a Somali restaurant is being served food that is too spicy. It is you that decides how much you prefer to punish your tongue.
We prefer the milder sauce (recipe at the bottom of the page) that has just a little heat but at the same time packs a lot flavour.
