Koduni

Koduni, also known as Kodooni, is a traditional type of bread originating from the Middle East, particularly associated with Yemeni Jewish cuisine. It is a flatbread, typically made from unleavened dough. The dough is usually composed of flour, water, and sometimes a small amount of salt. Koduni is characterized by its thinness and slightly chewy texture. It is often baked on a hot, flat surface, such as a saj or a griddle, which gives it a slightly blistered appearance. The preparation of koduni is generally simple, making it a staple food that can be prepared quickly. It is commonly eaten as an accompaniment to various dishes, including stews, dips, and grilled meats. The flavor of koduni is mild, allowing it to complement a wide range of savory foods without overpowering them. Historically, it was a practical food for its ease of preparation and portability. Variations of koduni might exist in different regions, reflecting local ingredients and cooking methods. It remains a significant part of the culinary heritage in its regions of origin.
