Instructions
- Step 2: Start by frying the chopped onions in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil until the onions are soft and they turn translucent.
- Step 3: Add in the chopped hoho next together with the minced or chopped garlic. Stir and let this cook for about 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
- Step 4: Next, add the tomatoes, tomato paste and chopped carrots. Stir them into the onion and spice mix before covering for 5 minutes. In these 5 minutes, the tomatoes will soften and crush up.
- Step 5: Uncover and add in the cooked.
- Step 6: Stir the Ndengu in to ensure they mix into the fries tomato mixture well.
- Step 7: At this point, add in 3 cups of water and cover on high heat.
- Step 8: Allow this to boil for up-to 10 minutes until it begins to thicken.
- Step 9: Depending on how soupy you prefer your food to be, add in more or less water
- Step 10: Once it boils to your preferred thickness, add in the beef cube.
- Step 11: Stir and taste before seasoning with salt. This is because beef cubes have salt in them and salting before poses the risk of having over salted food.
- Step 12: Add in some salt to adjust the seasoning.
- Step 13: Finish off with some coriander/dhania leaves and some black pepper.
- Step 14: Stir these in one last time before turning of the heat.
- Step 15: Serve immediately because they’re best enjoyed hot with some rice or chapatis!!
