Vegetable Curry

A plethora of legumes and vegetables – notably chickpeas, cauliflower, tomatoes, green peas, and potatoes – are slowly simmered with equally diverse spices sautéed in oil – to form a thick stew with great depth of flavor. Rustically scooping up chunks and sopping up juice with the accompanying handmade Indian whole-wheat flatbread (which was brought to East Africa by merchants during the British colonial period), you’ll think you’re on safari!

You’ll never miss the meat! (Eggs may be omitted for a vegan meal.)

Pad Thai

In this popular Thai dish that everyone seems to crave from time to time, your choice of marinated tofu, chicken, pork, or beef is sautéed and tossed with rice stick noodles in Asian seasonings and spices that span the entire flavor gamut – from sweet, salty, sour, to spicy! Accompanying mounds of shredded fresh carrots, cabbage, and bean sprouts add texture, flavor, color, and a healthy dose of vitamins. Condiments of cilantro leaves, chopped roasted peanuts, and lime wedges for squeezing top it all off.
