Tanzanians relish Ndizi-nyama or Ndizi na nyama, a popular dish made with plantains or bananas and meat.
Tanzania grows and exports about four million bananas and plantains each year. Bananas and plantains are a delicacy for many people in the country, as such, you will find them in many homes and restaurant menus.
They are either fried, made into chips, or used in cakes and in stews like the Ndizi-nyama. At times, they are brewed into beer.
In Swahili, Ndizi is the word for plantains or bananas and Nyama is for meat and these are the main ingredients for the stew. Other ingredients like tomato paste, coconut milk, pepper, onions, curry powder, cayenne pepper, and oil are featured to make the meal complete.
For vegetarians, there is an option to make the meal without meat and that is known as Mchuzi wa Ndizi or plantain curry.
These ingredients are combined and cooked over a short period and usually served with ugali or rice as a side dish.
Here’s how to prepare the popular Tanzanian meal:
