pendo89:

No.We call them chapatis in kenya.
When I get time I will post swahili dishes from mombasa.(Kenyan coast).Kenya doesn't have a 'national meal' well except nyama choma (roasted goat meat).
Each tribe has a speciality so I may have to post 43 different delicacies.
Mahamri from coast is like donught but spicy and very tasty.

pendo89:
I also don't like lots of soup in a bowl or plate.It's worse if it has 'oil'floating in it.The drier the food the better for me.

pendo89:

WHAT? Where do you buy potatoes from? Most of our dishes revolve around potato,it would be a national disaster if we didn't have them.

pendo89: Samosa- My favourite.I like samosas with minced beef filling usually with pepper.Vegetarians can replace the filling with anything.

pendo89: This is what you would ordinarily find in any restaurant in kenya.

chips masala-Tomato sauce, chili sauce, herbs, cilantro, and whatever else the chef decides are all added to the fries, coating them in a luscious sauce


Bajias-Potatoes are sliced up and battered with seasoning, deep fried, and served with a Kenyan tomato salsa that is worth boasting about.


Nyama choma-roasted goat.You can't say you have been to kenya if you haven't enjoyed nyama choma.

adaobi123: I thought samosa is Asian food

Black Kenichi:

They are. South Asian to be exact. Many different peoples have adopted Samosas as part of their national dish.

adaobi123: I thought samosa is Asian food

pendo89:

I know why you say that but it's a favorite and common kenyan snack found in all restaurants including the remotest village.There are lots of Asians in the East by the way and they love samosas too.
Don't forget that the Kenyan coast is full of arabs, hence the term swahili dishes which are very yummy cz they are know how to play around spices.

pendo89: Yep I am kenyan.

chapati and stew

The difference between roti and chapatis is clear.Chapos are softer while rotis are pretty dry and not tasty when eaten without accompaniments

pendo89: How did you do that Cameroon? I tried but they refused to load.Thanks

mashed peas and potato mix and some stew.

adaobi123: i lovvvvvveeeeeeeee chapati and roti, thank God for my Asian and my kenyan friends

2buff:

This is what you kenyans eat hence y'all so skinny
Now a typical nigerian dish is loaded and dripping with starch and ample meat.
In fact , Wives have been slapped for not putting the correct portion of meat inside the soups of their husbands

pendo89:

me too.But roti is flat.I love the curries that go with it

pendo89:

See why I said there is nothing like a 'kenyan dish? This is a local dish called mukimo/irio in local lingo and it's eaten by the people from central kenya.
It's very nutritous cz it contains lots of vegetables,beans maize potatoes and served with stew.It's a complete meal.You can eat 210kg of meat if you want and become obese.
But don't expect to be served such a meal when you tour another kenyan province.But why lie.I don't like that presentation esp the soup.I am not a fan of 'soups and more soups'

pendo89: Kenyans love tea! That's a fact.We don't eat 'food in the mornings'
Now waht could be tastier than tea served with mahamris.
Now these aren't doughnuts.They are close to but they are made using fermented milk and spices,I swear I can eat 20 of them.
