Updated on 03/23/2025

Mullah is a beloved Sudanese lamb stew, deeply rooted in the culinary traditions of North Africa. It's a dish that brings families together during everyday meals and special occasions alike. Featuring succulent lamb, an assortment of vegetables, and a richly spiced broth, mullah is known for its deeply comforting and satisfying flavors. It is typically served in a communal dish, encouraging the shared experience of dining. A traditional accompaniment to mullah is kisra, a thin, slightly sour bread, which is used to scoop up the stew and soak up the flavorful broth. The dish's warmth and spice are often balanced with a refreshing glass of aradeab, a date-based drink.
