Zhoum

This is a white sauce made from either yogurt or buttermilk eaten with Aseed. Creamy , tangy and lip-smacking delicious. It’s very easy to make. You will need:

2 cups of buttermilk (which is my preference), but you can also use a 1 cup of whole milk yogurt and 1 cup of water.

2 tablespoons of white flour

1 tsp of cumin

1/4 tsp of oregano

salt to taste

small saucepan

a whisk

Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend well. Then take the small saucepan and place under high heat*, and pour the blended ingredients and start vigorously whisking. Continuously. Don’t stop. If you do, the contents might develop stubborn lumps that will be very hard to get rid of. Once it starts boiling and thickening then turn it off. It should coat a tablespoon. Serve hot over Aseed either alone or with the brown sauce.
