Bil Dashi

Bil Dashi refers to a traditional Somali dish. It is a savory pancake-like flatbread, typically made from sorghum flour, but sometimes also made with cornmeal or wheat flour. Water is added to the flour to create a batter, which is then cooked on a hot griddle or pan until golden brown and slightly crispy.

Bil Dashi is often eaten for breakfast or as a side dish with stews and other Somali main courses. It can be enjoyed plain, but is frequently served with ghee (clarified butter), honey, or sugar. Some variations include adding spices to the batter. Its texture is generally described as somewhat dense and chewy, differing based on the type of flour used. It represents a staple food in many Somali households.
