So delicious I had to share. I find it super awesome delicious and healthy when I blend leftovers to thicken stews. First, the flavours have had a chance to 'marinate' some more overnight or for a few days so it acts as a flavour improver, and also it is healthier than regular thickeners because it is basically liquefied real food. In this case I mixed leftover githeri and ndengu. So delicious!
