Ugali Na...

Recipe from Tanzania, my Country of Birth

Hello all! Happy Friday!

I stumbled upon this old video of me and my Mom cooking and thought I would share. This recipe is staple from my childhood and is still one of my favorite comfort foods.

Ugali is a Tanzanian dish made from corn meal and is typically eaten by hand. Dipping into rich, flavorful stews and sauces. Yum! I love it!

As many of you know I was born in Tanzania. An absolutely beautiful country.

I was saddened to hear that Tanzania is on a list of countries currently being considered to be placed on a US travel ban. Here’s hoping this doesn’t happen.

We are deeply enriched through travel, through the sharing of culture and traditions and, you guess it, through food!

Enjoy the video and perhaps try your hand at making some ugali na tomato gravy!
