Nyama is the Swahili word for 'meat', though it's used interchangeably with 'beef'. This
Tanzanian dish is a very delicious beef
curry that shows the influence of
Indian traders on
West Africa.
Ingredients:
200g onions, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tsp salt
1 tsp
turmeric
1/4 tsp
chilli powder
2 tsp
East African curry powder
4 tbsp oil
900g beef cut into 2cm dice
500ml water
50g sliced okra or frozen peas (optional)
4 tbsp lemon juice
Method:
Fry the onions, garlic, salt, turmeric, chilli powder and curry powder in the oil until the onions are soft. Add the beef and fry lightly (but do not allow the meat to brown). Now add the water and lemon juice, cover tightly and simmer for 1 hour.
If the sauce appears a little thin at this stage dissolve 2 tbsp cornflour in 2 tbsp water and add to the pot. At this time add your choice of vegetables (okra or peas are traditional) and cook for 3 minutes more.
Serve in a large bowl, accompanied by rice that's been cooked in beef stock.
This dish is traditionally accompanied by fried onion slices, mango chutney, shredded coconut, orange sections and diced cucumber.
