Steps

1

Wash the beans and maize and put in a sufuria with lots of water.
2

Put on a source of heat to boil and keep checking and adding water to prevent burning.
3

Boil until tender and well cooked. Remove from heat.
4

You can eat it like that but I decided to fry it.
5

On another sufuria, put chopped onions with the cooking oil until browned, add chopped tomatoes until tender.
6

Add salt, carrot, and the potatoes with a little water to cook the potatoes. Cover and let it cook.
7

When the potatoes are half cooked, add the boiled githeri and mix together, cover and let them cook together.
8

Cook until the potatoes are well cooked, and soft but not mushy.
9

Remove when ready and serve hot.

You can serve with tea and avocado as I did. Enjoy
