Directions
Mchicha – Tanzanian Spinach & Peanut Curry., Mchicha is a very traditional dish in Tanzania & can be made like this with peanut butter – homemade or natural is best – or it can be made with a whole coconut grated flesh & milk instead. Posted for ZWT 4., This was good and very rich. A little definitely fills you up. used crunchy peanut butter and upped all the spices plus added pepper. Thanks!, Great version of mchicha! I went to high school in Tanzania and learned how to make it from my friends’ parents. In the Iringa area they didn’t use peanut butter or peanuts, though, and usually added garlic to the onion. I love how much thicker and creamier it is with the peanut butter addition! Sometimes, depending on availability, mchicha would be just tomato, onion, garlic, and greens the greens would be a bit different from our spinach here. When money was tight, you’d eat it with ugali, a sort of corn mash thicker than grits, but over rice was my favorite.
