When Leila’s mother, Maedo, came from the UK to visit us for a few days last week, it was only natural that we would prepare the video for Kalamudo that many of you have been requesting for so long. She told us that instead of repeating the previous recipe, she will make a variation of it. That way the video will be useful for those using the original recipe as well as the new one.
Preparing the kalamudo was an enjoyable experience and we all had the chance to sit around the isharafa (woven mat) and remember the olden days in Brava, Somalia. It was a delightful trip down memory lane, reminiscing about places, people, and special times. We ran out of dough several times and we prepared several batches of kalamudo. We also had to use instant stock when we ran out of broth. The stories, however, were plentiful and seemed endless, made sweeter by the swishing sounds of palms rolling noodles.
Batch after batch was frozen in a ltelo (winnowing basket) before being placed in freezer bags for storage in the freezer. Then some of the kalamudo was cooked and we sat down and enjoyed a very tasty meal; tastier than any other kalamudo we could remember. It was as if the noodles were made more delicious by the stories trapped in them.
