GITHERI
This is a meal that most if not all Kenyans have eaten. Its not unusual to find a pot of githeri on fire on lazy Saturday evenings or any other day.Its easy to cook and sweet when cooked right.my recipe is pretty basic since it reminds me of my grandmother's githeri which was the best.I miss it whenever I eat it elsewhere
