319. Mogo chaat
simply delicious Cassava is known by many names like yuca, tapioca, mogo, manioc root etc. The rains at the coastal region means that the mogo as its called in kiswahili is fresh and when cooked very powdery. My kaki makes this yummy simple mogo and she really doesn't have a name for this dish. I took the liberty of calling it Mogo chaat because that's what it is "chatpatta". I have not eaten this dish at anyone's home here in Kenya or as a street food. Yes mogo cooked in coconut milk is common but not this dish. I think my kaki learnt it from Tanzania where she had lived many years ago. Slight changes have been made to the dish to make it more spicy but otherwise its a very simple dish to prepare. I made this yesterday but without the onion and garlic. Try it, am sure you will love it and its really filling.
