Somali version of fufu

[Riftvalley]

In some respects Southern Somali cuisine actually has many overlaps with Swahili/South East Bantu cuisine. Good example Batati macan (fried sweet potatoes). Etc.

There is actually a lot. For example Baajiyo, those small balls that have sugar on them and even sambusa are all foods we share with Swahili

Sambusa is more of an Ethnic Indo Persian influence and still then the Somali sambusa has its own unique taste/style. Baajiyo? I only of Baajiye which is similar to onion Baaji or fried falafel balls? You mean Bur or Mandazi with sugar icing?

It is not custom for all Somalis and I wonder if it was imported by Bantu communities.

It is not common at all more likely to see soor, my Grandfather grew up with camel milk, hadhuudh/canjeero and meat, rice was used on special occasions, and he lived till his late 90s, he fasted a lot aswell.
