Directions:

To make the Chilli sauce:
1- Slice the tops off your chillies, then remove their core with as much seeds as you can. Roughly chop
2- Place into a blender with the vinegar. Then process until very finely chopped
3- Add the rest of the ingredients and extra cayenne pepper to taste until desired heat level is reached
4- Place in the fridge and let flavours develop for a day, then use within 1 week

To make the falafel:
1- Soak your dried chickpeas overnight in a load of water
2- The next day add them to a food processor with the onion, and process them into a very sandy mixture. Make sure to scrape down the side of the bowl so everything is evenly chopped
3- Add your sesame seeds to a cold pan over medium heat, and toast for 3-5 minutes until golden
4- Add the salt, coriander, cumin, cayenne pepper, and 2 tbsp of the sesame to the food processor, then mix everything together
5- Right before frying, take the batter and add the baking powder to it, mix well
6- Fill a pan with 3-4 cm of oil so the falafel can float, and heat to 180c
7- Shape your falafel by wetting the palm of your hand, and placing some batter in it, then shaping it into a flat patty. Add sesame seeds to the top and bottom, then drop it into the oil
8- Fry for about 6-8 minutes, flipping occasionally to get an even brown colour. Remove and drain on some paper towels.

To make the peanut salad:
1- Cut your onion to a small dice, and separate all the layers
2- Cut your tomatoes to a medium dice, and add with the onion as well as slices of green chilli
3- Combine the rest of the ingredients into a dressing, and mix thoroughly until emulsified. Pour over the vegetables and mix well, then serve

To make the ful medames:
1- Add your fava beans to a pot and heat over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until hot and softened. Mash the beans so they are mostly crushed, then add the coriander and salt
2- Add 1 Tbsp of sesame oil, then mix well. Now add some water to the beans, while heating the pot, so that it develops a beany saucey texture (could be 1/4 cup, could be more)
3- Pour the saucey beans out into a bowl, then top with some finely diced tomato. Add on some salty white cheese on top in a pile.
4- Finally pour the remaining sesame oil around the edge of the bowl, a

    I appreciate you so much! Thank you for including Sudanese. My heritage is from Lebanon and Syria, but my Syrian family has been in Sudan for several generations. I am so grateful that you legitimize our connection with all of our brothers and sisters (any other applicable terms of relationship regardless of gender) and that we have unique contributions, but we truly are a community and have been so historically and even more important today. Too many challengers try to divide us, but, while there have been horrendous occurances, in the past and continuing today, there have also been bonds and we can appreciate and nurture them now. I send you love and reverence. Let's learn and grow together. Thank you.
  • I'm just taking a moment to appreciate Obi's going-insane-mad-scientist laugh while cooking canned chickpeas falafel.
  • @noonoo033
    So happy to see a video based on Sudanese cuisine. As a Sudani, I can say it is spot on but I wish mish (rhyme not intended๐Ÿ˜‚) was added to the spread - it is a yoghurt and garlic dip with nigella seeds and the seeds are an absolute game changer! Correct the tahnia is often eaten with strawberry jam but Sudanese jam is sweeter than any kind of jam you've ever had and i'm not really a big fan of it. And the cheese is VERY salty. Another interesting Sudanese food is Jibna Modafara (Braided cheese) it's a mature shredded looking cheese with nigella seeds too. So much to explore
  • I am Eritrean ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ท I love Sudanese food ๐Ÿฅ˜ โค
  • @amylockard621
    One of the best meals Iโ€™ve ever had was at the home of a Sudanese family.
  • @NafaratMiyaMiya
    As a person who used to frequent Sudani restaurants, these were spot on. Some places used to do Ful Mushakal i.e a mixed Ful which had shredded boil eggs, white cheese, tomatoes and a drizzle of olive oil. Cheers love your content!
  • I'd absolutely love to see a Yemeni breakfast video! Their cuisine is so underrated!
  • As a Sudanese this was spot on! Thank you so much for exploring our culture and i do agree with you the cuisine is so cool because it's a mixture of Middle Eastern and African cuisines. I'm sure many Sudanese here or people who tried the food would be glad to share some more recipes with you :) โค๏ธ
  • @radiotech3
    This is the most perfect representation of Sudanese cuisine. I appreciate you for making food from my culture.
  • @rg1683
    As an eritrean, born and raised in Sudan this is spot on! I couldnt believe ppl didnt eat salad with peanut sause cuz its the best thing ever. Takes me right back to Sudan and the Ta3miya is my childhood omg (got so used without herbs that i dont like it with herbs :() oh well you really brought back so many memories unexpectedly and I really love you channel and a long time subscriber ;)
  • @Anesthesia069
    That laugh is brilliant! I would definitely watch more Sudanese recipes. I no longer have a Sudanese neighbour (I could have asked him!) but I LOVE peanuts and peanut butter.
  • @omerta926
    Look forward to learning more about Sudanese cuisine. It is high time we learn more about our brothers and sisters in Sudan, so Iโ€™m so happy to see this! Great video
  • @henrywudl2789
    In LA, where I used to live, there was a Sudanese guy who set up falafel stands in several farmers markets, and he did falafel with a peanut sauce. It was good!
  • @michelhv
    I remember an advice from The Food Lab about chickpea falafel to let the mixture rest a bit before use. This is to help the starches better stick to each other. That way you donโ€™t need extra binders.
  • @jbasti227
    As a MASSIVE peanut lover, I'm really looking forward to trying these recipes. Thanks for sharing!
  • Brazilian girl here and delighted with this video! Well done! Also love her hair and head wrap. ๐Ÿ˜
  • @lcfatima
    Very happy to see you guys exploring Sudanese cuisine!! I also don't like ful from a can because the skins give it a weird sour flavor and I don't like the texture, but I like it if I can find canned skinless ful (also from California Garden) and I puree it in the blender, I really like the taste and texture. I love peanuty cuisines (Thai and Lao food!!) so I just know I will love these Sudanese recipes you've made and I can't wait to try them!
  • @kea4
    I really appreciate your videos and the way you embrace the diversity of the Arab cuisine. Keep up the good work!
  • @zina22ful
    Thank you for exploring our fine and unique Sudanese cousine. I love our food. I do suggest to you to add fresh herbs ( dill to be specific) and a bit of green peper (hot or mild) to your falafel mixer and you would love it even more.
