Mchicha - Tanzanian Spinach & Peanut Curry.
Mchicha is a very traditional dish in Tanzania & can be made like this with peanut butter - homemade or natural is best - or it can be made with a whole coconut (grated flesh & milk) instead

@jesusredeemedme2425 I am from South Carolina in the US. We eat a lot of unhealthy food, haha, but a good soul meal is sooo good. Friend Chicken, black eyed peas, beans, greens, mac and cheese, etc. With sweet tea to drink. Also, we love desserts. My favorite is Pecan Pie. I love Sundays because of the soul food after a morning at church.

Chipsi Mayai
This is one of Tanzania’s favourite comfort foods. Chipsi Mayai is Swahili for “chips and eggs” and is, in its purest form, an omelette with French fries. It may be simple, but the beauty lies in its simplicity. It’s usually enjoyed as a breakfast food. Of course, most of us tirelessly strive for a healthy lifestyle (steel-cut oats are our trusty breakfast companion), but secretly, who isn’t excited at the prospect of eating French fries for breakfast? Locals serve it with tomato sauce (ketchup) and a side of fresh veggies.

My kind of breakfast 🥐 🍳


Mahindi Ya Kuchoma
Mahindi Ya Kuchoma is the Tanzanian take on corn on the cob. Corn is slow roasted over open coals until it starts to char. It is then drizzled with lime and pepper or lemon chilli salt. It is delicious, and if you’re looking for the tastiest version, buying from a street vendor is the way to go!
