East African curries are influenced by Indian as well as Middle Eastern cuisines, so any similarities are not coincidental. This curry contains coconut milk which features prominently in Swahili cooking and it is one of the ingredients that makes the food really delicious.
This recipe is a family favourite and is one of the dishes most often requested when our nephews and nieces come for a visit. Even though the list of ingredients is quite long, most of the ingredients are items we regularly stock in our pantry. Traditionally, the chicken is cooked separately and is added to the pot in the last ten minutes or so of cooking. In order to simplify the dish, we cooked everything in one pot.
For this dish, we prefer using chicken thighs instead of chicken breast. The dark meat stays moist and tender for a longer period while it becomes infused with all the flavours of the curry.

Hi,
Just want to say thank you so much for providing these recipes to cook for my husband. He only eats Somali food and I never learned much from my mother bcs I always hated to cook. I’m learning now and actually enjoying, plus I love seeing my husband so happy and full. Inshallah you are well and can continue making videos with your husband.
Thank you!! Farhiya
My favourite! Greetings from Germany!
Wonderful! Thanks a lot.
Hi I wanted to make this dish but noticed I only have chicken drums! Can I substitute and just use chicken drums with the bones instead of boneless thighs? Thanks u!
Ps I am a huge fan of your website I really appreciate your work and thanks to you I have made many of your yummy dishes that has impressed my family and friends! May Allah reward you 🙂
You definitely can.
Thank you for being a great fan. 🙂 We are happy for you. Thank you for letting us know.
As always, thank you so much for the yummy looking recipe :). I’m planning to try this tomorrow, one question though, how do you get the onions and garlic pureed like that? Is it your type of blender or do you add water while blending?
Thank you very much for your comment. We used a food processor and blended for a while.
This was really good though I noticed the recipe didn’t have salt. Is that deliberate?
The recipe does include salt. It says 1 Tbsp Vegeta seasoning or 2 bouillon cubes (Maggi, Knorr etc.) or 2 tsp (12 g) salt. Thank you.
