What to eat during Easter
The four-day long weekend could be a chance to be with family as we celebrate the Easter holiday this year there are meals to share.
French fries and an egg omelet can be considered junk food, but it is fine to indulge in such foods once in a while especially during this Easter holiday with kids at home.
Mandazi would be good for breakfast, it is cooked by frying dough in oil. Sometimes coconut milk is added into the dough for flavour.
The main ingredients are flour, milk, eggs, yeast and sugar to taste. It’s incredibly tasty and goes well with tea.
Ugali, nyama choma and kachumbari it is usually eaten as a casual meal with friends and downed with a couple of beers.
Tilapia is widely eaten fish and very popular in Kenya mostly in the lake region because it is readily available and affordable.
It is deep-fried and served with junk foodor pilau. This fish is rich in nutrients like vitamin A, omega-3 fatty acids, and protein.
Pilau is a coastal dish that is served at almost all social gatherings. It is rice cooked in a flavored broth with meat, chicken, or vegetables.
Chapatis are almost everyone’s favorite. They are soft and layered flat breads that are eaten in many East African homes.
It is very light and is eaten with tea, beef stew, or beans. I can say, without a doubt in my mind, that Kenyan chapatis are one of the best chapatis you will ever eat.
Mukimo is a tasty delicacy cooked by mashing green peas, potatoes, maize, and pumpkin leaves or spinach leaves all together. Sometimes beans can be used as a substitute for green peas.
Grilled chicken could definitely do it for you during this four-day weekend. It is among the yummiest foods, and many people in Kenya love eating grilled chicken.
It is not a Kenyan dish, but what is interesting is the extremely delicious way they cook their grilled chicken.
Have yourself a cold beer especially one of the most popular drinks in Kenya tusker or Guinness which has a refreshing taste. Kenya’s hot climate gives you ample reason to try this beverage.
