Maharagwe

Maharagwe, which simply means "bean," is a dish made with the red beans or seeds of the French bean plant, though haricot and other beans can also be used.

This dish is made with maharagwe or simply beans, i.e., red beans or French bean plant seeds. Kenya, Burundi, and a few other countries also consume it. This dish is popular among locals due to its flavor and high protein content. Raw beans, onions, tomatoes, coriander, garlic, coriander, and other ingredients are required.

It is thought to have evolved from the spice trade of the East African coast before making its way inland with traders. It is a popular dish in several countries in and around Chad. Maharagwe is made by stewing these beans in a coconut milk sauce seasoned with onion, cardamom, cinnamon, garlic, and chili.
