The whole house smells like Somali chicken curry and iftar cannot come fast enough. 🍛

There is something so deeply special about breaking your fast with a meal made with your own hands. The patience of the fast. The warmth of the kitchen. The moment that first bite finally comes.

I don’t even know if this is a curry or a stew… all I know is it’s deeply good and it disappeared fast at iftar. 😭🍛🔥

Here’s how I made it:
Ingredients:
• Cubed chicken breast
• Hooyos House Perfect Chicken Seasoning
• Pink salt
• Lemon pepper (optional)
• Curry leaves
• Loomi (gifted with selected orders over £20 🤍)
• Passata —I used my Somali suugo, usually meal prepped during the week
• Soured cream
• Crème fraîche (swap with yogurt or double cream, coconut milk whatever you have)

Method:
Season the chicken with pink salt, Hooyos House Perfect Chicken Seasoning, lemon pepper, curry leaves and loomi… mix well and cook on an oiled pan until the juices are released and the chicken gets some colour. Add the passata or suugo and cook together on high heat until it all comes together beautifully. Lower the heat, stir in the soured cream and crème fraîche and simmer until the oils surface.

Serve with white rice and a fresh salad. Or a warm naan. Or a paratha. Honestly the options are endless and every single one is the right answer. 🤍🔥

These blessed days of Dhul Hijjah…may every fast be accepted and every meal be barakah. 🤍☪️

Drop a 🍛 if you’re fasting these beautiful days and tag someone who needs this on their iftar table tonight. ⬇️

This is the Hooyos House Chicken Biryani that will have everyone asking who made it. Fluffy fragrant rice, tender golden chicken, bold spices and that coconut milk base that makes it different. 🔥

Save this now. Practise before Eid. Walk in confident. 😈

🍚 Hooyos House Chicken Biryani
Ingredients:
• 500g chicken wings
• 1 onion, blended
• 1 red bell pepper, blended with juice of 1 lemon + whole lemon with peel
• 5–6 garlic cloves blended with a handful of coriander
• 2 large potatoes, chopped
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 tbsp crispy fried onions
• 1 tbsp Hooyos House Perfect Rice Seasoning
• 1 tbsp Hooyos House Xawaaji All Purpose Seasoning
• 200ml coconut milk
• Salt and boiling water

For the rice:
• Basmati rice boiled with lemon slices, chillies and salt for 20 minutes, drained

Method:
Sauté chicken wings until golden. Add blended onion and cook until softened. Pour in the blended pepper, lemon juice and whole lemon. Add the garlic and coriander blend. Stir in potatoes, tomato paste, crispy fried onions and both Hooyos House seasonings. Pour in boiling water and cook until chicken is tender. Add coconut milk and simmer until the oil surfaces. 🤍

Layer the chicken curry at the bottom of your pot, cover with the cooked rice, garnish with chillies, food colouring, coriander and lemon slices. Remove the top layer of rice for garnishing, fluff the rest and plate it beautifully. 🍚

This Eid…make it a meal worth remembering.

POV: You put Hooyos House Somali Tea Seasoning in your bread dough and accidentally created the softest, most fragrant loaf of your life. 🍞🍵

I use it in all my baking now and I genuinely cannot imagine going back. That warm cinnamon cardamom flavour in every single slice.. it makes the whole house smell incredible and tastes even better. 🤍

This is our new go to sandwich bread and once you make it from scratch you will never reach for a shop bought loaf again.

Ingredients:
• 500g flour
• 10g yeast
• 10g sugar
• 340g warm milk
• 30g butter or oil
• 10g salt
• Hooyos House Authentic Somali Tea Seasoning 🍵 (the secret ingredient that does everything)

Method:
Combine dry ingredients, add warm milk mix and add salt and butter, mix into a rough sticky dough.

Knead 10 minutes on the counter until smooth, soft and elastic or in a stand mixer.

*First rise:Cover and leave somewhere warm for 1 hour until doubled and puffy.
*Shape: Flatten into a rectangle, roll tightly into a log and place seam side down into a greased Pullman tin.

*Final proof: Cover and leave 45–50 minutes until the dough rises just below the rim and feels pillowy to touch.

*Bake: 180°C for 35–40 minutes until golden with a hollow sound when tapped.

*Cool:Remove from tin immediately and rest on a rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing. 🍞

That smell when it comes out of the oven. 🍵🍞
Soft. Fluffy. Warm. Made with your own hands. made with love. 🤍

The juiciest, crispiest oven baked chicken, and the secret is a two step method most people skip.

Let me tell you something about Hooyos House Perfect Chicken Seasoning, it doesn’t just season your chicken. It transforms it. And paired with this technique? You will never make chicken any other way. 🙌🏽

This is the chicken you make when you want to impress at a gathering. This is also the chicken you make on a quiet Tuesday at home. It works every single time.

Here’s the quick recipe:
Ingredients:
• Chicken pieces of your choice
• Hooyos House Perfect Chicken Seasoning
• Salt
• Olive oil
• Lemon juice or pickle juice (optional but highly recommended 🍋)

Method:
Boil your chicken in salted water first, this is the step that guarantees juicy every single time. Remove from the water and mix your Hooyos House Perfect Chicken Seasoning with salt, olive oil and lemon or pickle juice into a medium runny paste. Brush the marinade generously all over the chicken, sprinkle some over your vegetables too, then grill in the oven for 10–15 minutes until golden, crisp and beautiful. 🔥

That’s it. Crispy outside. Juicy inside. Seasoned perfectly

And yes, this seasoning is so versatile I use it on my seafood too. Once you try it you’ll understand.

Come make pillowy soft honeycomb bread with me 🍯🤍

This one has a secret ingredient that completely elevated it and I need you to try it. Instead of vanilla, I used Hooyos House Authentic Somali Tea Seasoning…and it gave the bread the most beautiful cinnamon, cardamom warmth you can imagine.
Every pull…apart piece just tastes like a cosy moment. 🍵✨

💡 Did you know?
You can use Hooyos House Somali Tea Seasoning in place of vanilla in your baking — it brings those deep, warming cinnamon and cardamom flavours that make everything feel like a hug from the inside. 🤍

Bread will never be the same again.

The texture? Pillowy. The flavour? Cosy, warming, and just a little unexpected. The honey dripping through every layer? Don’t even get me started. 🍯

You’ve got to try this!

Somali tea ice cream was not on my 2026 card and yet… here we are…The @ninjakitchenuk Ninja Creami really said let me change your life.

The recipe (it’s easier than you think):
Brew your Somali tea like normal… milk, a tea bag, Hooyos House Somali Tea Seasoning (1 tbsp and yes, this did all the hard work so you don’t have to blend your own spices 🙌🏽), sugar, xantham gum, and a pinch of salt. Simmer for an extra 5 minutes to really pull out those deep, warming flavours.
Pour into a blender with some double cream, adjust the sugar to taste, blend until completely smooth — then transfer to your Ninja Creami pots and freeze for 24 hours.
Spin it. Taste it. Try not to cry. 🥹

The flavour is everything you love about a cup of shaah: cardamom, warmth, that cosy feeling…but cold and creamy. It’s giving comfort and chaos at the same time and I am not sorry.
Hooyos House Somali Tea Seasoning is genuinely a cheat code. No measuring individual spices, no guessing: just flavour. 🫶🏽
