7 Reviews of Mchicha - Tanzanian Spinach & Peanut Curry.

Made half a recipe. It was a big hit with our vegetarian exchange student. He wolfed it down, and hubby and I each got a tablespoon. I used ghee, baby spinach (which cooked much more quickly), half a tin of chopped tomatoes and Madras Curry Powder. I 'melted' the peanut butter in the microwave for 15 seconds, so it was easier to mix with the coconut milk.

    This was so good! Other reviewer comments about "wolfing it down" and "licking the bowl" are quite appropriate!

    This was wonderful. The only substitution I made was with the tomatoes. I used some rehydrated sundried tomatoes. I will definately be making this again.

    This is absolutely delightful. I scaled to half as I wasn't sure how the kids would take to this and, although they weren't too keen, DH and I LOVED it and ate it all up. This really has a fabulous blend of flavours and was a great accompaniment to some salmon.

    great recipe and so easy to make. Great hit with my vegetarian guests. I will be using more tomato and onion next time. I felt there wasn't enough of this in it. delicious!

    Oh yum - 10 stars for this one!!! I just made it for lunch and I am still licking the bowl. I didn't make it very traditionally, but it was still good. I don't use coconut milk, so instead I used rice milk with a little coconut extract added and thickened with a pinch of cornstarch while it simmered. I can only imagine how good it would be with the richness of the coconut milk! I also added a shredded zucchini and served over brown rice. This was SO good and I will be making it very often - thanks!
