About Mullah

Omer Al Tijani's Sudanese Kitchen records mullah ahmar, or tagalia, as a red stew with minced beef and tomato. This named Sudanese rendition represents one member of the broader mullah family, rather than a formula for every regional stew.

Caramelised red onion, garlic and ground coriander flavour the sauce. Ground okra thickens the tomato mixture, while a little sugar remains an optional addition in the source.

The beef is spread throughout the thickened red sauce. Gurasa is the selected bread accompaniment from the published serving alternatives, providing a soft, spongy bread for scooping the stew.
