Jamani kila mtu!
Imebaki siku kumi na mbili na dakika kidogo kuzaliwa Yesu
Kristo. If you don’t understand, I said, Hello world! It is just 12 days and
some hours to Christmas day. (Not a direct translation)
Lolz xx. That was Swahili. [Whispers] Between you and me, I don’t even know how to read it myself. 😂😂😂
How are y’all doing? This morning, I saw the Harmattan’s
shadow but it looked like it wanted to rain too. His appearance this year was dramatic.
Maybe, he had a chat with the rain before the rain left. 😒😒😒
That was just by the way.
Meet Chef Addo. For this Christmas, he is teaching us a new
recipe all the way from Tanzania! This is a great opportunity to add a new meal
to your Christmas dinner/ New Year party.
Today, we will be learning how to cook chips-mayai, a very
popular dish in Tanzania!
Thanks to Chef Addo for sharing this with the Marietta
DeGrant Blog and with some friends.
Ingredients:
8 medium sized Irish potatoes
3 medium sized carrots
2 medium sized green peppers
3 medium sized tomatoes
10 eggs
Salad oil to fry the potatoes
Salt to taste
Method
Wash and peel potatoes
Cut potatoes into French Fries sizes and wash them again
Put oil on fire at a reasonable heat
Fry the potatoes and set them aside after frying.
Cut vegetables (green pepper, carrot and tomatoes) into
smaller sizes.
Set vegetables aside and beat the 10 eggs together. Add salt
to taste
Put frying pan on fire again and pour a little oil for
shallow frying
As you wait for the oil to be hot, add vegetables to the
beaten eggs and mix together
Take some French fries (few) and spread them on the hot pan.
Take a ladle and fetch some of the beaten eggs and
vegetables and spread them over the pan. Make sure it does a full circle of the
pan.
Cover the pan with a cover, and let it heat for about a
minute. Make sure the heat is moderate to avoid burning.
Without removing the cover, and using a napkin to hold the
cover, flip the pan so that the chips mayai lands on the cover.
Put the pan back on the fire and let the uncooked part of
the food stay at the bottom of the frying pan.
Allow it to stay on the pan for a few minutes and flip it
back again.
Serve on a plate
Serve with a scoop of ketchup and a cold drink.
Enjoy your meal.
