Kenya

What people eat, drink and cook in Kenya.

Sukuma wiki

A nutritious and economical dish made primarily from collard greens, known locally as sukuma, cooked with onions, tomatoes, and sometimes meat or fish. This dish is a staple for many households, serving as a way to make meals last, especially towards the end of the week when resources are low.

Ugali

A simple, yet filling dish made primarily from white cornmeal (maize flour) and water. Ugali has a dough-like consistency and is traditionally served as an accompaniment to meat, vegetable stews, and sauces. Its ability to be easily shaped makes it a perfect utensil for scooping up sauces and stews.
