This recipe is from one of my new favorite cookbooks, Extending the Table. The notes on this recipe say that this Swahili dish is served by a restaurant in the heart of Nairobi. I have only modified it to make the recipe fit into Zaar format, to preserve the authenticity of the recipe. This is a very mild, very easy to make curry.
This recipe introduced me to the fantastic flavour of coconut milk and curry paste, its insane how good it is, don’t even think of skimping on any of the ingredients, you need them all. Fish sauce is super cheap and you can find it in the asian food isle in your supermarket. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
This dish goes together very quickly. You will have dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes. If you don’t have cooked rice, start it before you make the curry and they should be finished at the same time.
This is a favorite family recipe we received from a good friend. One batch is never enough! The recipe is so versatile that you can add tofu, mushrooms, or any other vegetables to your liking!
I haven’t made this yet but it sounds amazing. It’s a Thai curry. I’m storing here on Zaar so I’ll know where to find it!
