I loved eating this when I was in Kenya! The corn was a little different than what we get in the U.S.

• 2 cups dried maize kernels (or use canned if in a hurry) • 2 cups dried red kidney beans (or any other beans, or use canned) • 1 large onion, chopped • 2 tomatoes, chopped • 1 carrot, diced • 1 bell pepper, diced • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 1-inch piece of ginger, minced (optional) • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder (optional) • 1/2 teaspoon paprika or chili powder (optional, for spice) • Salt to taste • Fresh coriander leaves for garnish • Water for boiling
Instructions:
1. Soak the Maize and Beans: If using dried maize and beans, soak them separately in water overnight. This reduces cooking time and ensures even cooking. 2. Boil the Maize and Beans: Drain the soaked maize and beans, then add them to a large pot. Cover with fresh water and bring to a boil. Cook on medium heat for about 1-2 hours, or until both the maize and beans are tender. (If using a pressure cooker, this can be done in about 30-45 minutes.) Drain and set aside. 3. Prepare the Vegetables: • In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. • Add the chopped onions and sauté until soft and golden brown. • Add the minced garlic and ginger (if using), and sauté for another minute until fragrant. 4. Add the Tomatoes and Spices: • Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they break down and form a thick sauce. • Add turmeric powder, paprika or chili powder, and salt. Mix well. 5. Combine with Maize and Beans: • Add the cooked maize and beans to the pan with the tomato mixture. • Stir to combine, ensuring the maize and beans are evenly coated with the sauce. • Add the diced carrots and bell pepper. Cover and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a little water if needed to prevent sticking and to help cook the vegetables. 6. Garnish and Serve: • Once the vegetables are tender and everything is well mixed, remove from heat. • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves. • Serve hot, either on its own or with a side of chapati, rice, or ugali.
