Dates pulao

I was always fascinated by the rich traditions of my Muslim friends, especially during Eid. One of the highlights was the delicious ‘mutton yakhni pulao’ that their families would share with neighbors. The aroma of spices and slow-cooked mutton would fill the air from the night before, creating a sense of celebration and community.During my recent visit to Kenya, the pervasive aroma of Kenyan pilau wafting from the kibandas (food stands) lining the streets at lunchtime felt nostalgic. Kenyans take immense pride in their culinary heritage, eagerly sharing their recipes and techniques at the slightest hint of appreciation. In these mealtime gatherings, laughter, stories, and the bonds of friendship were as abundant as the fragrant spices in the air.‘Mutton yakhni pulao’ and ‘Kenyan pilau’ are slightly distinct aromatic rice dishes. Kenyan pilau is milder in spice, often paired with beef, lamb, chicken, or served vegetarian with a side of kachumbari (tomato salsa). Unlike yakhni pulao, Kenyan pilau stock is not cooked down; rice is added the first time after bringing the stock to a boil (atleast from my observation in a few Kenyan homes I visited)While I have enjoyed both experiences, I tried my luck at 'mutton yakhni pulao,' preserving the tradition of communal meals. I am excited to share this recipe, offering a taste of Eid celebrations and lunchtime gatherings in your own home. And what’s yakhni without a burst of fresh ginger #GlobalApron

This is a spicy rice dish that originates from the Middle East, prepared by cooking rice with various vegetables and spices.

I tried recipe from Indian dishes and the results were amazing! It was incredibly yummy 😋 actually every member of the family went for the second round

Instead of using sugar,I used dates to add some sweetness to the juice

This is a must have in Swahili events. I like to add this especially when serving a buffet #themechallenge

I prepared this with my sister today and it was very satisfying

Dates after breaking the fast we start by eating the dates .then we follow by porridge or tea.

When you truly love food,you want each and every mouthful to be a testament to that Love,that is what happened to me when my mother prepared some pilau at our home many years ago,I must have been 16.It stuck with me,I had to try prepare it at my home now that I am married with a child.Its a dish I always remember my mom with.That Mama's touch!Pilau remains one of my favourite meals,so I had to create my own recipe with a twist,whether in the ingredients or cooking method.I am very particular about My Pilau :) so it has to be really good :)

Potatoes are trending in this season and I am maximizing the opportunity by having plenty of them in the house. This is how they saved my day today; when I got home late, I desired a simple yet presentable meal with the available ingredients in the house and pilau njeri was the best option

Every mother has a story to tell when it comes to making their babies eat their bowl of healthy oats and seeds, mine is not different. Below is my own personalized Oats choco and dates cookies that I make for my daughters and am sure your babies will love them too .The cookies are gluten free and full of fibers and nutrients.

Kaimatis are an indulgent Kenyan Coast specialty where by, gooey dough balls are coated with sensational syrup.

I'm still a beginner in the business of cooking pilau. I had a big challenge today, I had no the usual Pilau masala, never made pilau without it before. I crafted my own masala using a mix of other ground spices. Well the results good 😋. I'm back to the research arena to perfect this skill.

I am cooking someone's recipe today
