Cambaabur is a traditional Djiboutian bread or pancake that is popular in Djiboutian cuisine. It is made from a fermented batter of flour, water, and salt, resulting in a unique and flavorful flatbread. Here's how Cambaabur works

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Water (enough to make a thick batter)
  • Oil or butter (for greasing the skillet)

Preparation of Cambaabur:

1-In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and enough water to make a thick batter. Mix well until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

2-Cover the bowl with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for at least 8 hours or overnight. This allows the batter to ferment and develop its characteristic tangy flavor.

3-After the fermentation period, the batter will be slightly thicker and bubbly.

4-Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter.

5-Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the hot skillet, spreading it evenly to form a thin round pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.

6-Flip the cambaabur and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until cooked through.

7-Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the skillet as needed.

8-Remove the cooked cambaabur from the skillet and stack them on a plate. They are now ready to be served.
