Recipe: at dinner Coconut ndengu Delicious, fresh and tasty.
Coconut ndengu. The mild milky, nutty flavor of the coconut milk infused so well and so deeply into the ndengu and was so well complimented by the taste of the cumin. Garam masala brought to life the inherent earthy taste of the ndengu, and the mild flavor of the turmeric tied everything together. Ndengu is really simple to prepare even though sometimes I get asked on ways to make them tasty.
Serve with rice, chapati or on its own.
