Easy recipe: Swahili Boko Boko delight

Let's make this delicious meal known as Boko Boko, a labour of pure love and lots of strength. I had to sit down on the floor to 'songa' (pound) it to perfection.

The meal is also known as harees in the Middle East. It was brought down to the coast of East Africa by Middle Eastern settlers. It is so good, we in Swahili land make it in our own twisted way and love to have it with some ghee and sugar.
