Malooga

(ملوجة‎‎)

Malooga is a yeasted Yemeni flatbread that is traditionally baked in a taboon. It consists of flour, yeast, water, salt, oil, and dark clarified butter known as semn. The bread has a status of being an inexpensive item for the poor people of Yemen.


Malooga is often consumed with buttermilk, beans, and eggs, but it is also used in a popular Yemeni Ramadan dish called shafuta.
