Join Mindy Kaling and Hawa Hassan in the Tasty kitchen as they make Spicy Somali Pasta, or Suugo Suqaar. As a former Somali refugee, Hawa loves how this dish makes her feel nostalgic for home with all the spices of the Indian Ocean, like cinnamon, cloves, and turmeric. Follow along as Mindy discovers what it was like for Hawa and her family to flee Somalia, and the ways in which refugees and immigrants enrich society in so many ways.

I was salivating about the tasty food until she smiled. Now I know which one is more yummy
Looks sooooo good. Where's my plate? Don't forget about me.
Usually I put Keema (mince meat curry with potatoes and sometimes with peppers or peas) on speggatti, my mum used to do that, usually its eaten with roti. Childhood favorites
Pakistani here
Ayeee shoutout to my Somali people !!! My Somali food cooking skills are lacking but thank god for YouTube chefs lol💯
Keep going Hawa, your doing a great job!
We Somalis love xawaash
Hawa is my mom's name
I love how they were letting each other have a moment and enjoy it
Omg this is beautiful…more of these please
Joey liking that trifle Rachel made with beef makes a whole lot more sense now. He just had a refined palate to appreciate such things 😁
Maxaa ku qaawiyey walaaleey dharxiro Khayr allaha ku siiyo
She did a great job! 👏
Mindy eats beef?
Mindy and Hawa are the personification of how diversity strengthens a country.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS THANK YOU HAWA❤️❤️❤️ AND MINDY❤️❤️❤️
my mom's name was hawa 😊
for anyone who would like to simplify the dish for themselves, you can buy xawaash or xawaji(spice mix) from most Somali stores and some Arabic or Indian stores sometimes have it
I’m obsessed with Mindy. No. Like. Obsessed. Lol
1990 nononono hellftumeen no…😔
I’m Indian! I am blown away by how similar this is to Indian version of meat pasta! I grew up eating this 😋😋😋😍😍😍
Aww Mindy is so sweet also proud of our sis hawa
Thanks for sharing ❤️
So nice sister well done 🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴❤️❤️❤️
Proud of you Hawa!!!! Such beautiful representation. Thank you queen
Loved this ❤
wish she didn’t use beef, hindus don’t eat beef
Somali food is everything and the fact that all their vegetables are organic and from their own farms is what makes their food even beyond delicious 😋
I’m somali and I’m proud to see my country getting popular
Beautiful !!!!
I'm noticing that it has Italian influence too looking at the food, and words
Wow! Hawa Hassan I'm so proud of you Somali sis!
Well done hawa
Mansha Allah it makes me happy see somali women being with grace and have solid parents backing us up alwys May Allah bless her and guide her to cover that is only remaining.
This recipe looks sooo good! Can't wait to try it
I absolutely love this 🧡
There’s no such thing as Somali food only reer xamar food.
Filipinos also eat bananas with their savory dishes sometimes!!
I remember Hawa from Bon Appétit, and I'm so happy to see more of your delicious cooking and hear more of your incredible story! Will continue to follow you. Big fan 🙌
You are not refugees anymore hawa you are way forward don’t look back
Always proud of my Somali heritage. And our power puff girls. Love you all.
