The Somali version is spiced with hot green pepper, and the main ingredient is often ground meat or fish. Bajiye, a variation of the Indian pakora, is a snack in southern Somalia. The Somali version is a mixture of maize, vegetables, meat, spices, which is then deep fried. It is eaten by dipping it in bisbaas, a hot sauce. Kabaab is a snack eaten by southern Somalis.
