Mahshi is a well-loved traditional Sudanese dish, often employing the help of a group of women and girls to core the many vegetables used in the dish. Mahshi does not require extensive skills but it does take a bit of time to execute, the flavours are savoury, slightly sweet and rich punctuated by the herbal flavour of fresh dill.
