The secret behind boiling an egg inside bananas
Ingredients.
1. 12 raw bananas.
2. 20 medium potatoes peeled and not diced ,leave them whole as they are.
3. ¼kg meat boiled and soup salted and kept aside.
4. 1glass minji, boiled in a pinch of baking powder to retain its green colour.
5. 3carrots cut into Julienne, or allumette ( kata tu straight wachana na hizi malugha)
6. 3tbsp tomato paste.
7. 2big tomatoes grated.
8. 1big onion diced. (Box box tu)
9. 3cloves garlic mashed.
10. 1big egg.
11. 1bunch dhania cut thinly.
° In a big sufuria put the egg and the bananas with their cloths on and cover them with water slightly above them ,salt the water to taste then bring to boil until the bananas are cooked. You will know they are cooked by pressing one or you will see the skin has changed to black colour, but I will prefer you lift one up and press if its soft its cooked, you know nikikuambia itachange black unaweza wacha ichemke hadi maji iishe ianze kuungua then you say chef said black colour heheheheh. Drain the water remove the egg, itoe maganda and keep it near the soup meat we will use it later.
° Undress the bananas when they are hot because it will be easy to do so , by the way we boiled it with its clothes to avoid that story of pakaa mikono mafuta , sijui dip kisu kwa jivu ndio ile gum ya ndizi isikupate and so many stories. But hiyo ya mafuta kwa mikono huwa ukweli lakini nani ako ready kuharibu mafuta ya kupika na hii economy? Mikono juu, so wewe chemsha hivyo na nguo zake then peel and keep aside.
° In the same sufuria boil the potatoes in fresh salty water and cook them till soft, as they boil take chilly sauce and approach the egg and meat soup where you kept them and eat the egg as you sip the soup kwani hii jikoni ni ya nani ? Si ni yako? Haya jibambe.
° After the potatoes are ready drain the water in a cup and keep aside usikunywe hii itatumika kwa soup to thicken it.
Now heat 6tbsp of oil and fry the onions together with the garlic to golden brown then add the boiled meat stir to brown the meat as well then add the tomatoes together with the tomato paste and let it simmer for 2mins as you stir. Introduced the boiled minji together with the Julienne carrots and stir add the potato soup that I asked you to keep aside usikunywe to make a soup but usiweke yote usitengeneze mto hapo , add it as you check soup thickness.
: taste to check salt level remember the potato soup had salt when we were boiling so be careful as you salt.
° Let the mixture simmer for 1min add the dhania stir then slowly add potatoes and stir slowly to incorporate it with the soup, again add the bananas slowly and stir again slowly na ninasema slowly nguvu mingi peleka mjengo Hehehe.
Let it simmer again add more potato soup if you love it with lots of soup.
