Wow! This is simply amazing. Welldone. And by the way, I must mention that I'm particularly intrigued when I saw you pray. It means you pray before cooking at home (i guess). God bless you for honouring the Lord. You are lifted.❤
I just made this recipe, I had 3 attempts - first two I threw out because It was bitter - I burnt the sugar. The third try was a success and so yummy! Thank you for the recipe and video!
Wow wow, so grateful to know this @shilamiejepkoech ! Thank you so much for sharing this feedback. God bless and prosper you and the work of your hands too! 🙏🏾
@@recipesandhospitalitywithclara I don't know why people believe those stories. how much saliva can one use for making just half a dozen balls. people are addicted to wild stories. but that's also what brought me here
God bless you for sharing and for starting with prayer. I always wanted to try this out but kept pushing it off but you've made me determine to do it soon. I also like the flat cut out pieces I found in a supermarket in Uganda. Blessings 👏🏼 🙏 💌
Thanks for the wonderful teachings, and also for acknowledgement of God First.Be blessed your work is excellent 💯I think this marked my end of buying ready-made simsim, I will be preparing now my favorite .Again be Blessed🙏🙏🙏and subscriber added to your channel 🥰🥰
For the glory of God surely may God bless you for sharing....so I made but felt like it was too sweet...can't we add water to the sugar to dilute the sugar😂
Thank you so much Fanuel! Yes He is involved in everything. Yes you may use sugar. You could check out this one that I did with honey. I hope it will be helpful. Let me try paste it here to make it easier for you.
You're welcome Maryjoy! Thank you so much for watching too. I have seen someone online dry them as they roasted them on the pan. I'm sorry I've never tried this myself. 🤭
Towards the end of the video, I've explained how I wash them. I use lots of water. Mostly the stones should remain at the bottom. Once you've removed the simsim, you can pour out the water. You may lose a few simsim seeds but you won't have the stones. I hope that helps.
Don't get discouraged Nancy. They need you to work fast. Keep a very low fire going as you make the balls until you are done. The very low fire keeps the sugar somewhat melted (kiasi) until you are done. I'm hopeful that helps. Thanks so much for watching!
Hi Caroline. You can dry them when cooking. Some people actually wash and cook directly. As they are frying on the pan, they eventually dry and then they can mix them with the sugar syrup. Thanks so much for watching and being here!
I prepared mine bt after putting sugar it doesn't brought nice results,I tried to make the bolls bt the seed can't come together what might b the problem
Hi Perry, thanks for watching the video! Keep trying to press the seeds together as you follow the tutorial. The idea of compacting the seeds together is that as the sugar cools, it hardens. The seeds then harden together with the sugar. When it has cooled completely, the balls should have formed well.
Thanks so much Beatrice for watching! I didn't put groundnuts in this one but I would most likely fold them in when shaping the simsim into a bowl. Adding when in the pan can be quite a task. I think you could make it into the semblance of the granola one I did on the channel😊 perhaps make the simsim seeds part of your granola once you've roasted the seeds in your pan. Hope this helps!
I'm so sorry I'm not so sure. I mostly work with the cup I'm showing in the video. I've not worked with kgs before now that I'll mostly buy more than 1kg so I mostly scoop with the cup. Thanks so much for watching
Feel free to add in case you like it with spice. ☺️We grew up preparing and eating without. We love the taste of sesame seeds as they are. Thank you so much for watching!
Hi Charity, Yes I do wash and dry them then store especially because I buy from the market. The market ones are cheaper but quite dusty. Towards the end of the video, I show briefly my process of washing when I buy alot. Only ensure they are fully dry, then keep using as needed.
Hi Angela? I went to Githurai market to buy cereals and was pleasantly surprised that the one I bought from had simsim seeds. The price was the same as when I send for them from western Kenya.. only 10bob more. If they are in Githu, I'm certain they might be in Gikomba too. Hope that helps!
Hi Irene, thanks for watching. At what point were they hard? Usually, as sugar cools, it hardens. They then become hard as they cool. Depending on room temperature the next day, they seem to soften abit. Incase they became hard as you prepared, the sugar was cooling. You keep it on very low heat until you finish shaping. Incase it's after shaping, that's how they usually are; crunchy. Hope this helps!
That does happen I think.. especially because once the spoon cools, the sugar starts to solidify. I would suggest using another spoon to get the mixture off the spoon you're using. Then continue to shape as fast as you can before it solidifies. Also, as you keep doing this overtime, I think it gets easier and easier.
