About Cambuulo
Xawaash publishes this Somali ambulo, also named cambuulo, as a preparation of adzuki beans and hulled, cracked white corn. Leila and Abdullahi place the dish within their memories of Somali home cooking and shared grain meals.
Beans and corn give the preparation its legume-and-grain flavour, with salt as the stated seasoning. The softened grains and beans remain the central ingredients in this particular rendition.
The mixture is soaked and then cooked in water until ready. Xawaash shows the combined beans and corn as a simple finished dish, with the two ingredients mixed together.
