The sticky, spicy sauce deliciously offsets the blandness of the starchy vegetables. This is actually made with an unripe plantain.   Хлебните се поголеми од бананите и мора да се готват, но кога првпат ги пробав во Танзанија вака ми го опишаа. Го адаптирав и додадов грав за протеини.  It takes a while to cook but it’s a simple one pot dish.
