Comorian Wedding Sweet
Roho is a traditional Comorian sweet treat, often prepared for weddings and special celebrations. It's a dense, sweet confection made from ground rice, sugar, and aromatic spices, typically formed into small balls or shapes.
🧂 Ingrédients
- 1 cup Raw rice(coarsely ground)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp Ghee (clarified butter)
- 1/4 tsp Cardamom powder
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper(coarsely ground)
👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Grind the raw rice until it has a coarse texture, similar to semolina. Do not grind it into a fine powder.
- 2
In a dry skillet, toast the ground rice over low heat, stirring constantly, until it becomes lightly golden and aromatic. Be careful not to burn it. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
- 3
In a separate bowl, combine the powdered sugar, cardamom powder, and coarsely ground black pepper.
- 4
Once the toasted rice has cooled, melt the ghee in the same skillet over low heat. Add the cooled rice to the melted ghee and stir well to coat.
- 5
Gradually add the sugar and spice mixture to the rice and ghee, mixing thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should start to hold together.
- 6
Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls or form them into desired shapes (like small bricks or laddus).
- 7
Place the formed sweets on a tray lined with parchment paper and let them dry at room temperature for at least a few hours, or until firm.
