Bariis Iskukaris
Somali Sella basmati rice and goat cooked together with aromatic spices.
About Bariis Iskukaris
Bariis isku-karis is represented by Leila and Abdullahi’s Somali one-pot rice and goat recipe. Their Xawaash version uses Sella basmati rice, whose grains absorb the meat broth while staying separate.
Goat broth provides the main savoury flavour. Onion, garlic, tomato and whole spices support the aromatic xawaash blend, which includes cumin, coriander, black pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and turmeric.
The rice has elongated, separate grains around fork-tender goat meat. This is a combined rice-and-meat preparation, with the cooking liquid absorbed into the grains.
