TAMU SANA KUKU PAKA
Tamu sana means "very delicious" in Swahili, the language spoken in Kenya, where I grew up. Kuku Paka is a hybrid dish coming from Swahili, Arab, and Indian influences. It is my husband's favorite dish, and my kids love to say the name of it when they ask me to make it. Kuku means chicken in Swahili, but nobody that I have asked knows what the Paka part is supposed to mean. It is a mild, creamy, and comforting dish.

Steps:
- Place the chicken thighs in a plastic freezer bag with half of the ginger (1 1/2 tbsp), half of the garlic (1 1/2 tbsp), half of the vegetable oil (2 tbsp) and a third of the kosher salt (1 tbsp). Leave to marinate in the fridge for at least one hour or even overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Farenheit.
- Cover two cookie sheets with foil and spray each with a nonstick cooking spray.
- On one sheet, place the chicken thighs, skin side up, in a single layer.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters. Put them in a single layer on the second cookie sheet. Spray the potatoes and sprinkle with a third of the kosher salt (1 tbsp).
- Roast the potatoes and chicken in the oven for 45 minutes.
- While the chicken and potatoes are cooking, make the gravy: Finely dice the onion and fry it in the other half of the vegetable oil (2 tbsp) until the pieces turn a light brown color. Add the spices, the rest of the garlic and ginger ( 1 1/2 tbsp each), the rest of the salt (1 tbsp), the sugar, the serrano chili, and the tomatoes. If you like it spicy, pound on the chili with a mallet or cut it up into small pieces. If you like it mild, cut two slits into the chili, but do not split it open.
- Cook, constantly stirring, for about five minutes, or until the tomatoes start sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine. Heat until hot but not boiling. Add the lime juice, eggs, and some cilantro (leave some for garnish). Taste for seasoning and add more salt, sugar, or lime juice to taste.
- When the chicken and potatoes are ready, place the potatoes directly in the gravy -- they should be slightly browned on the edges. Take the skin off the chicken and put the chicken in the gravy as well (leave the meat on the bone, or take it off if you'd like). Be sure not to boil the gravy or the coconut milk will curdle.
- Garnish with cilantro and slices of limes.
- Serve with fresh basmati rice or thick slices of a crusty soft French bread for dunking.

Steps:
- Add the onion, chiles, ginger and garlic to a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Add a little water if necessary.
- Heat the oil or ghee in a large pot or wok over medium flame. Add the onion puree, curry powder and cumin and sauté, stirring frequently, for 5 to 8 minutes, or until cooked down. Stir in the tomatoes and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Then add the chicken, coconut milk, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until the chicken is cooked through and tender, anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Add more water as needed. Adjust salt and pepper, to taste.
- Stir in the cilantro. Serve with with rice or chapatti.
- Variations: For authentic flavor, grill the chicken pieces before stirring them into the simmering sauce. If you like, you can also use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs.
- Some recipes add potatoes or hard-boiled eggs to the curry. The potatoes can be cooked ahead, cut into chunks and stirred into the curry toward the end.
- Eliminate the hot chiles for a milder dish. Or substitute a chopped sweet bell pepper.
- Reserve some of the coconut cream that gathers at the top of the can and stir it into the sauce at the very end for extra silky results.
SWAHILI CHICKEN (KUKU SIKI)
I came across this recipe on the internet - it is attributed to Omari, from the village of Matandoni on the island of Lamu off the Kenyan coast. It calls for coconut vinegar which can be found in Asian supermarkets. I made it for a dinner party and it was delicious, but tasted even better the next day. A good one to make ahead and then reheat with all the flavours having blended nicely.

SUKUMA WIKI
A Kenyan vegetarian / side vegetable dish, which means "stretch the week" in Swahili. I became completely addicted to this while visiting Kenya. It is eaten with Ugali (I've posted that recipe separately), either on its own or (when it's to be had) with meat or fish. I love it on its own, and generally don't bother with meat if Sukuma Wiki is around! This is the easy, basic but less tasty version. If you're willing to put in a little bit more effort for a lot more flavour try Recipe #207540 which is a slightly more involved sukuma wikki that I've posted. Enjoy!

DAWA
This comes from the book Around the World in 80 Bars, and the recipe comes from "The Carnivore" in Nairobi, Kenya. The Carnivore is a nyama choma (barbecued meat) restaurant, and is licensed to serve gazelle, giraffe, and zebra. In Swahali, Dawa means "somewhere between a medicine and a magic potion'. Traditionally, this drink is served with a small wooden masher so that you can release more lime juice and adjust the flavor of your Dawa to suit your liking. This is a pretty strong tasting drink, so I generally release more lime juice!!
