Most cultures have some form of fried dough: puff puffs, fry dough, beignet, zeppole, bofrot, loukoumades, etc. Somalis know it as bur saliid. It is a popular street food that is served as a snack. Bur saliid with samosas, bajiya, and tea make a great casariye (afternoon tea with snacks).
Together with a cup of tea, it is also a quick breakfast. Others like to dip it in basbaas (Somali hot sauce) and it becomes a great snack.
The recipe provides two options: with or without eggs. Traditionally, Somalis do not add eggs but eggs make the puff puffs lighter and richer in taste. When serving with samosas or any savoury dipping sauce, it is recommended not to increase the quantity of sugar. However, when serving it with just tea, we usually increase the quantity of sugar and make the puff puffs sweeter.
