The Weekend Project: Sautee Nduma with onion and eggs
There certain dishes that my mama could never make me eat when I was a kid. Most times it was the super healthy stuff like dark leafy greens, pulses like ndegu (green grams) , cow peas, ngwaci (sweet potatoes) and definitely nduma (arrow roots)
I hated nduma. Up till now I do not have a liking for ndumas. I will take ngwaci any day over ndumas. I really do not like how they taste. They are a bit like ugali, just something, I believe, people eat and love because they have had it all their lives not because it’s so tasty. It is super healthy too. So I guess that makes them quite a win.
Coz nduma is not something I like, I rarely eat them. When I make them at home the Mr will enjoy them. For me I have to do a little something extra to them to to make them more palatable or interesting. Frying them in butter makes them really tasty. But adding some onions and eggs to it. Just makes it 10x better. Let me know what you think.
Happy cooking!

#TheWeekendProject: Butternut and Dhania Chapatis
It’s interesting how I could easily make so called complicated meals like filet mignon and Penne Carbonara but I struggle with simple dishes like Ugali and chapati. To be honest those two dishes have given me so much grief. Dear Lord! I actually learnt how to make both just this year!

It’s a long weekend, what will you be up to? I live for long weekends. Actually I think Kenyans live for long weekends. Maybe it’s all humans but Kenyan are just a special lot. When it gets to November we all just wait for the 12th of December (Jamuhuri day, Independence day) so that we can allow our brains to shut down.
