Chapati with Avocado and Tomato Salsa:
Chapati, a popular unleavened flatbread in East Africa, is a versatile and wholesome breakfast option. At Chakula Tamu, we offer freshly made chapatis that you can pair with a delicious avocado and tomato salsa. Mash ripe avocados and mix them with diced tomatoes, finely chopped red onions, fresh cilantro, a splash of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread the avocado and tomato salsa on the chapati, roll it up, and enjoy a filling and nutritious breakfast that provides healthy fats, fiber, and a range of vitamins and minerals.
East African Sweet Potato Hash with Eggs:
Sweet potatoes are a nutritious and delicious ingredient commonly used in East African cuisine. Create a hearty and healthy breakfast by making an East African-inspired sweet potato hash. Dice sweet potatoes and sauté them with colorful bell peppers, onions, and a sprinkle of East African spices like berbere or pilau masala for added flavor. Once the sweet potato hash is cooked, create small wells in the mixture and crack eggs into them. Cover the pan and let the eggs cook until they reach your desired level of doneness. This savory and nutritious breakfast option is rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and protein from the eggs.
