When most Americans think of curry, we think of India. However, what we know as curry has been common and beloved in many other countries and regions for centuries, typically due to long trade histories. In fact, many peoples and countries across Africa boast hugely varied and expansive curry traditions. In some cases, they\u2019ve been using and loving Asian and Middle Eastern spices for millennia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may be surprised to learn the word \u201ccurry\u201d doesn\u2019t exist in any Indian language. The word that sounds closest to it, which likely inspired the term, means gravy or sauce, and doesn\u2019t refer to any particular spice blend or flavor. The more you know! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve embraced one of these traditions with our Kilimanjaro Coconut Curry<\/strong>, our take on Tanzanian mchicha<\/em>, or spinach and peanut curry. This dish is often served on the side with other East African staples, but we\u2019ve added our own spin and made it the main attraction. The surprisingly intoxicating blend of tomatoes, peanuts, and velvety coconut milk creates a luscious sauce for filling veggies and warm spices. We\u2019ve swapped out the spinach for hearty lacinato kale and added chickpeas for extra nutrition and flavor. Serve over rice or your favorite grain for a delicious, crowd-pleasing meal.<\/p>\n\n\n
