My husband is from Kenya and I have had to learn new recipes and styles of cooking. This is one I invented myself. It is nice and light and fast to cook. Perfect for the summer. You can serve with white rice or the Kenyan staple food ugali. Ugali consists of simply boiling water and then adding white corn meal until texture is solid.

This stew is a great way to warm up on a cold night. The rich and flavorful sauce is perfect for dipping bread or rice. And the fish is so tender and flaky, it just melts in your mouth.

I love the versatility of this stew. You can use any type of fish that you like, and you can adjust the spices to your own taste. I also like to add different vegetables to the stew, such as okra or zucchini.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover fish. I had some salmon that I needed to use up, and this stew was the perfect solution. The salmon came out so tender and flaky, and the sauce was so flavorful.
