I always smile when I see Kenyans preparing /eating matooke🇺🇬.😊😊😊

[@DinewithJane]

I suppose it's different to how you would prepare it in Uganda..

[@weditekliea5457]

[@cyrusokwoyo7950]

[@charleysapaloh2275]

The first I met mpilikanyi in hulinghurm we eat a delicious dish of matooke it was forgotten day in my life. I wish I could come back just to eat the same food. Kenyan ladies must come and open up a matooke restaurant here in luanda.

[@collinschisandi3862]

Fell in love with this dish when I was barely 10 years old. Never forgotten the taste since.

[@valentinemulaa157]

Hi Jane i love the cooking but i think you should have browned the meat first then add coriander when food is almost ready....and salt too ...but otherwise it looks amazing

[@MrGwax]

Valentine Mulaa Your style her style kaa na yako

[@ken4722]

@@MrGwax It's not a fight but coriander hufaa kuwekwa mwisho kabisa wakati hata ushazima moto for you to fully enjoy it's flavor. We can all correct each other and better one another

[@DinewithJane]

Hi Ken, I get your point, Certain food would require you to add at the end if you don't want the flavour for coriander in your food, but I love the taste and the difference it makes at the start of cooking, I do know as a chef working in a professional kitchen and being in place where the appearance of food is more important than the taste sometimes, coriander is one of my favourite herbs, and if you watch Indian cooking you will notice mostly they add most of the ingredients at the beginning of cooking. But we are different in how we do things, whatever works for might not work for me,thank you for letting me know your opinion. Have a good evening

[@conypat9536]

following your recipe now, hope it turns out like yours. i like

[@judyn6785]

Looks very delicious. just a question: I see you adding coriander early on however people say it's a delicate herb and should be added just about when the food is almost cooked. what's your take?

[@DinewithJane]

Am sorry Judy that I have just gone through some comments now and realised that I didn't reply, yes I understand and know that herbs should mostly be added the last minutes of cooking, which mostly it's used as garnish rather than flavouring your dish, and that's why I lways use my coriander earlier in my cooking, as I was the taste, aroma and flovour of Coriander, you can do either it's all how you preffer. Hope I answered your question.

[@judyn6785]

Dine with Jane Yes you did, thank you very much.

[@mizzpoetrics]

I'm a cook & add coriander to my food, depending on what I'm cooking, in several stages. Brings out more flavor this way. Happy cooking! 😊

[@aunties5798]

said omar Said, 'Matoke' is originally a Ugandan word for Green Bananas. I have tried other varieties of Green Bananas, but Matoke ftom East Africa will always be the best:)

[@shikumuraguri5929]

hi your cooking is amazing.... how do you puree tomatoes

[@DinewithJane]

@ Shiku thanks for nice compliment, it's a little bit of a process to do puree tomatoes, 1. fresh tomatoes then score at the end of each like a cross light not too deep of a cut, place them in boiling water for a minute or two until they look like the skin is just starting to peel off, take them of the boiling water and put them in cold water with ice cubes and peel of the skin, you can cut them in half if you wish, then place them in a blender, blend until smooth, then with a sieve pour the blended tomatoes and sieve the tomatoe seeds off, and now you can use your pureed tomatoes. Hope that is helpfull. Thanks for watching.

[@safisafiification]

Thanks for all the recipes, can one add carrots & peas into the matoke?

[@DinewithJane]

+Lfuraha lovely, Hi lovely thanks for your comment, yes you can add carrots and peas at the begining befor e adding potatoes, let me know how it goes.

Did you boil the potatoes and the plantain before putting them into the beef mix ?

Hie XxEdenfxx thanks for your question, but no I didn't boil them before adding them to the beef, but the potatoes and bananas won't have the flavor from the beef, and might end up being too mashy. Hope thats helpfull.

[@norahmwangi.13]

Thank you Jane for the recipe. Do you have a recipe for cooking fried fish...particularly Tilapia? And what is the difference made when one adds dhania after food is cooked instead of cooking it with the onions initially.

[@DinewithJane]

@ Norah thanks for your question. First of all when cooking and you add coriander/dhania with the onions or tomatoes, a meal get the flavour from the dhania, and it give it a nice aroma as well, whilst when mostly you add coriander/dhania the last minute it's for garnishing/decorating the meal and it gives it a fresh herb taste. so it's what you choose to do with it I suppose, you can do both.

[@DinewithJane]

@ Norah Wanjiru i have a recipe i will put it together and i will send you a link if that is okay. Thanks gal.

[@Tugalukeni]

That the food I was literally brought up with but cooked with no manufactured spice just tomatoes and chilis. if I couldn't get it from mum her mum(grandma) across the road or her grand ma next house. Grandma always had it for lunch I would eat it there. At home mum would steam the bananas mush them then serve them with meat stews. We also had lot of it cooked with Duma's potato's and meat using similar cooking technique she used in the vid. Dumas(arrow roots) , malenge (pumpkins) were sometimes omitted. Great grandma would always use all the above ingredients plush sweet potatoes also the yellow ones or white ones. The grandma's always had githeri mashed or loose one at all times or these foods. As a kid they would force me to eat the arrow roots or pumpkins. Other wise our other food was rice, githeri, chapati though mum could make the best fish stew on earth. They start us with those mashed bananas and tubers as our first solid food as infants.
