The first recipe that I've decided to post is for Latey (Fenugreek Pudding). This pudding is traditionally made for women who have recently delivered. Fenugreek is beneficial as it can "increase milk supply in lactating women. Studies have shown that fenugreek is a potent stimulator of breastmilk production, with an increase of as much as 900% in milk production" Fenugreek Gardening . This pudding is also served in other regions of the world including India and Sudan. In addition to Latey, there is another Fenugreek Pudding called "Sholeh Holba", for which I will also be posting a recipe.
