Daraba

Okra is also used in daraba, which is a vegetable stew with a peanut flavoring. To achieve this, ground peanuts are mixed into the liquid while the stew is cooking.

The vegetables used in daraba vary greatly, with ingredients largely dependent on seasonal availability and what can be found in the country's southern food markets. In addition to okra, common ingredients include tomatoes, sweet potato, aubergine (eggplant), and leafy greens like spinach. The mild flavor profile of these vegetables is boosted by the addition of cayenne pepper for spicy heat and a bouillon cube (usually a Maggie brand cube) for umami moreishness.

If you intend to travel to Chad, Daraba is one of the must-try dishes for you.
