    I am excited to have found this website as we live in Uganda and when we visit the States, people are always asking how to make our food. Now I can send them to your site. I was wondering if you know how to make chaps – a flattened meat dipped in egg. Could you give the recipe for this one?

  2. Beatrix Ikanda on February 13, 2013 at 6:56 am

    Dear Rose
    I have just come across your website, it real amazing.
    Well i have been doing this Ubuyu business for a while, the truth is i feel good doing this business because the fruit itself is very important to the human body, resent research shows that Ubuyu increases CD4( for people who have HIV/AIDS). IT’S NOT JUST selling, IT’S SAVING LIVES!!!
    Anyone who wants to be my partner, distributor or end user please give them my email address
    Regards

    • Miriam Rose Kinunda on February 14, 2013 at 9:34 pm

      I am sure they are reading this email right now.
      Thanks for sharing Beatrix.
      Mingi love

    Mimi ni Mkenya!!..I totally loved your video on how to cook chapati. Your video, believe it or not, helps rescue over 99% of the East African men in the US that crave chapati but have no idea how to cook them. Thanks to our traditions back home where the women are the official “chefs” and men just wait to be fed…LOL. Anyhow….I was listening to a Tanzanian song and in the song they reference the phrase “Ugali na kisafu”…I know ugali….but what is Kisafu?

    • Miriam Rose Kinunda on December 21, 2012 at 9:12 pm

      Many thanks Ed,
      I thought there was a need to have a well informed video for chapati after having a few badly cooked chapatis in some homes.

      I am glad that you can understand it well.
      Mingi love

    I would like to taste “mchicha” in London. I enjoyed this food in Tabora and Dar with every meal!

    • Miriam Rose Kinunda on July 23, 2012 at 11:56 am

      I will ask my friends from UK to tell me if they get mchicha in UK and send you an email.
      Karibu tena.

    • Neil on September 23, 2012 at 8:07 am

      I am fr Dar..I cook mchicha at least once a week and eat with beef or chicken curry as a side dish.

      Buy a frozen packet of chopped spinach and empty the contents into a medium sauce pan on medium heat Next add one medium sliced sweet onion, one sliced tomato ( use Romano), add pinch of red chilli powder, and add coconut milk( I use Maggie powder). I dilute the powder with hot water. Start with more powder n less water to make a rich coconut milk. You can add more as it get cooked if desired. 4 tablespoons of coconut milk to half a cup of warm or hot water. Remember the spinach will release its water contents so don’t make the coconut milk too light. Let the ingredients cook well and lower the temp and taste for salt n spiciness accordingly. It should be a bit sweet fr the onions. Perfect to eat with rice, curry or just with a slice of toasted Belgian beard. Good luck

      • Selah on January 15, 2013 at 7:44 pm

        That sounds a little like Palak Paneer, a very good Indian dish. All you need to add is some little cubes of Paneer.

        • Miriam Rose Kinunda on January 19, 2013 at 10:26 pm

          I will try to find what Palak Panner is Selah. Thanks for the info.

    • SAMEERA on October 23, 2012 at 3:11 am

      hi Miriam

      well done this is good-
      you can add kashata, visheti, vitumbua, mkate wa kumimina, kinsamvu dagaa wa mawese mtori, muhogo fried and boiled ,caramelized mtama ( rolled in a ball – you get in dodoma) buyu – the colored sugar coated seeds, there are so many tz foods you have not included..lol

      do let me know if need be.

      sameera

      • Miriam Rose Kinunda on October 27, 2012 at 10:50 am

        Thanks Sameera,
        Slowly I will add all those.

  10. Fransiska on December 25, 2011 at 3:19 pm

    Hi Mirium!

    Will you please make a recipe for CHAPATI MAJI? I know the basics but for some reason mine come out more like Crepes and not Chapati Maji, they’re too thin and seem to be missing something…

    Thank You!!!

    • Fransiska on December 25, 2011 at 3:20 pm

      Ohh and Merry Christmas to you! :)

    • Miriam Rose Kinunda on December 26, 2011 at 3:30 pm

      Fransiska,
      I will add that in the list from my visitors,

      Thanks, welcome again.
      Mingi love

  11. peter on October 25, 2011 at 11:27 pm

    I like the use of video to instruct, but for those of us in Tanzania and other African countries, it would be good to have the traditional text as well. We pay for the internet by the byte – and we pay a lot – so I’m not ready to watch almost ten minutes for just one video.

    Just a thought. As always, it’s still a top site.

    • Miriam Rose on October 26, 2011 at 11:32 am

      I will give that a great thought Peter. It is not easy, people asked for video for a long time, now a few want text again.

      I will start to post both, all I want is my viewers to be happy.

      Thanks again and visit again

      Mingi love

      • peter on October 27, 2011 at 12:44 am

        thanks. but it’s good. Keep innovating.

  12. jessica akyoo on August 7, 2011 at 8:43 am

    Would you happen to have a recipe on sambusa? I can’t get enought of this food!

    • Miriam Rose Kinunda on August 23, 2011 at 9:30 am

      Yes I do have Sambusa recipe. I had it on my old blog, but I never had a chance to upload it here. I will upload it in a few weeks.

  13. nancy clement on June 23, 2011 at 9:52 am

    Love the beans in TZ. Recipe please. Also, how would you bests prepare rice for beans and rice. Thank you.

  14. Rebecca on June 9, 2011 at 8:55 pm

    How exciting to have found your website. Each summer my children and I pick a country to learn about and we chose Tanzania this year. In addition to learning about the people, animals and land, we like to prepare a traditional meal. I am excited to try your recipes soon!

  15. Ayla Lillevik on April 8, 2011 at 11:58 pm

    Hey, what a fantastic site. It is great to have a place with Tanzanian recipes, so that I can make the food when I leave Africa.

    Just wondering weather it is possible to give us a recipe on ginger tea? I love that tea, but it’s not the same when you buy it in the shops or markets.

    Thank you

    • Miriam Rose on April 9, 2011 at 1:46 pm

      You are right Ayla,
      Nice to know someone likes ginger tea as I do. Healthy and caffeine free.
      I have that recipe here. Its is just a few lines. I think i have a photo too. Let me see then i can post it.

      Mingi Love

  • Is there any difference between mahamri and mandazi? May 10, 2013
    As I am reading my old notes here, I came across something that I wrote a few years ago but I forgot to post it here. Before I post this topic, I would like to hear what my readers have to say. When I used to live in Nairobi Kenya in my teenage years, I noticed that almost every Kenyan I knew did not know what mandazi were, but they did know mahamri. I used […]
