		<description><![CDATA[Christmas Pilau from Nesbitt Video Productions on Vimeo. I did post this recipe for the first time in December 24 2009 in English and January 22 2010 in Swahili. A few people had hard time with it. I have decided to make a video so that those few people can see how easy it is to prepare this dish. I have changed the instructions from the first post I did in December 2009 to make the process easier. As I said on the video, traditionally, we start to sauté onions, then garlic, and ginger, then pilau masala then Rise, but, it uses a lot of oil; to help use less oil, I have started with rice first and onions. Christmas Pilau Ingredients 1 cup Basmati rice 2 tbsp olive oil ½ cup Onions (finely chopped) 1 tbsp Crushed garlic 1 tbsp crushed ginger 2 tbsp Pilau masala Click here to get the ingredients for pilau masala 1 cup Cashew nuts 1 cup Sultanas/raisins. ½ tsp Saffron (can be replaced with ¼ tsp turmeric) 2 to 3 cups Boiling plain chicken broth or (chicken flavor cube mix in 2 cups of water) ¼ &#8211; ½ cup Coconut milk (canned or the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are many versions of Futari in Tanzania, Sweet potatoes Futari is my favorite. This is a very simple recipe but the mixture of coconut, sweet potatoes and cardamom creates a unique flavor. Your kids will love this. Make this as a side dish for Thanks giving dinner, have something different, have Tanzania Flavor at your Table for thanks giving. Ingredients 1 lb African Sweet potatoes (they are white or a bit yellow inside and very starchy. ¼ cup chopped onions 1/2 – 1 tsp cardamom (freshly ground) Click here to learn from this video) 1 tsp Canola oil 1-cup heavy coconut milk (Tui zito) Click here to learn how to make fresh coconut milk 2 – cups light coconut milk (Tui lembamba) If using canned, dilute a little more]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Uji wa Pilipili manga mainly prepared during Ramadan, but for us who grew up along the cost we make this porridge any time of the year. After spending the whole day fasting, most Muslims will have something hot and light to drink before dinner to warm up their stomachs. Uji wa pilipili manga is one of the most favored porridge during Ramadan. This porridge has a distinct taste, you can never know how good it taste until you try it. The mixture of black pepper, sugar and lime create a peppery sweet and sour taste. This is my favorite for a light breakfast. Ingredients 5 cups of water 1 cup Maize flour 2-4 Tbsp lime juice 5 Tbsp sugar ½ &#8211; 1 tsp Black pepper Useful Information. It is always nice to first mix half of the flour, this is because different brands of maize flour differ. Some brand could have fine flour and some a little course, and they all need different amount of water. Since we are using 5 cups of water, one brand may need a little less flour than the other. Just follow the video.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chapati originated in India but differ a little bit. In Tanzania chapati makes a good breakfast with soup or tea: lunch or dinner with stew and vegetables. The process may look too long, but this is because I want to explain well, once you prepare this recipe for the first time, you will notice it is a very short process. Ingredients 5 cups all purpose flour (not self rising) 2 cups warm water 1 ½ tsp Salt ½ cup Canola/Vegetable oil (heated then cool down) You will not use all of it. 2 cups Extra lour for kneading Preparations In a large mixing bowl, measure 5 cups of flour. In another bowl, mix salt, 3 tbsp of oil, and 1 ½ cup of water, stir until the salt dissolves. Pour the above water in the flour bowl. Mix well; and keep adding the remaining water until dough becomes soft. Knead the dough for 10 – 15 minutes; add flour if needed. Divide in 11 to 15 equal parts (make a ball like shape), arrange them on a flat surface, and then cover with plastic wrap or a white clean cloth. Right away, continue with 6(1): With a rolling pin, roll [...]]]></description>
