Nyama

Nyama is a type of meat stew. It is also prevalent in other countries such as Zimbabwe. Beef, chicken, and goat are common meats used in this dish. It is frequently prepared during festivals and celebrations. Tomatoes, carrots, garlic cloves, curry powder, and onions are among the other ingredients.

Ingredients:

• 2 lb beef
• 4 cloves garlic , finely chopped
• 1 onion , finely chopped

• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon curry powder
• 2 carrots , diced
• 1 cup fresh green beans , cut in 1-inch/2,5cm sections
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional)

Direction:

• Beef should be cut into medium-sized chunks. In a pot, heat the oil. Combine the beef, garlic, and salt in a mixing bowl. Fry the meat until it is a lovely brown color.
