Kitawa
Kitawa is a comforting green-banana dish inspired by Chagga cooking, where firm bananas are simmered until tender and folded with tangy fermented milk. The result is mild, creamy, and gently sour, especially good with a little butter, salt, and green herbs.
π Recipe adapted from Wikidata (Dish)
Peel the green bananas under water or with oiled hands, then cut them into even chunks.
Simmer the bananas in salted water until tender but still holding their shape.
Cook onion in butter until soft, add the drained bananas, and fold gently to coat.
Lower the heat, stir in fermented milk or yogurt without boiling hard, season, and finish with herbs.
