Bointamou

What we know so far

Bointamou is a savoury Comorian bread made from ground rice and freshly grated coconut, seasoned with onion, chives, pepper and a little chilli, shaped by hand into hearts, flowers and stars on banana leaf, and baked over coals or in the oven until the outside is dry and golden. There is no wheat and no yeast in it; the rice grains, soaked and ground, hold it together. It is a bread for big occasions and above all for Ramadan, eaten with tea or with a sauce.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
