Title: Ndengu stew

This is a recipe that I really love. I got the inspiration from my mom. She would tell us stories of how her mom (our grandma) would take her to a hotel whose main dish was termed "sembe ndengu" which simply means ugali ndengu. Whenever she would tell the story we would just laugh till tears fill our eyes. That story is what inspired me to actually try out the recipe. I really hope you will love it. I will only be illustrating the steps for cooking the ndengu stew, since that is my best part.
