What’s the best local dish you’ve ever eaten while traveling?
If you haven’t tried it, Mikono is a traditional Kenyan dish made from potatoes smashed together with arrow root leaves, maize and beans. It’s hearty,earthy, and incredibly comforting.
What makes it so special is how simple, wholesome ingredients are transformed into something so flavourful and satisfying. It’s usually served with a hearty stew and is a perfect example of how local cuisine tells the story of a place and its people.
If you get the chance to visit central Kenya, do yourself a favor and try the authentic Mukimo. You won’t regret it.
