Let's make delicious thick matumbo curry and serve it with ugali on the side. I like to clean my matumbo with lime juice and then boil them until soft.

What you will need:

1/2 kg of boiled tripe (matumbo)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

4 tomatoes, roughly chopped

Fresh coriander, finely chopped

1 teaspoon of Mchuzi mix (diluted in 1/2 cup water)

1 large red onion, diced

50g tomato paste

Salt to taste & 1 teaspoon garlic mince

Juice of 1 lime

What to do:

In a pot over medium heat, put the vegetable oil and saute the onions until soft or golden brown.

Add your tomatoes and a pinch of salt, let this simmer for about 5 minutes until they are well cooked then go in with the tomato paste.

Add your boiled matumbo and mix it in then add the mchuzi mix and stir well. Add 1/4 cup of water and cover this with a lid and let it simmer.

Squeeze in the juice of 1 lime. Add your finely chopped coriander and mix it.

Serve while hot, with some ugali.
