The India-Africa Cooking Connection
For me, a hearty stew has always been the ultimate family-style comfort food. Prepare a big pot, fill the bowls of family, friends and honored guests, break bread, and chow down!! Such a meal can unite family and friends, make strangers feel welcome, and connect countries.
Indians love curry . Africans like peanuts. This tidbit of info gleaned from researching worldcuisine , global flavors and foodhistory .
* Michael Tracey is another one of my discoveries.
He hails from Johannesburg, South Africa , publishes a newsletter called "THE TASTE OF AFRICA", and is the author of "AFRICAN RECIPES", an ethnic cookbook .
The link below is to a Tanzanian recipe that links the cultures of India and Africa in every delicious spoonful.

We also like stew-type food here in the UK. Our party meals are generally chili con carne and beans, curry, spaghetti bolognese or pasta. Hav to be a bit careful with things containing nuts as friends have allergies to same, but otherwise we're good to feed an army.

I love reading your posts. They are fun to look at.
1This recipe sounds delicious. I often use curry and peanut butter for different soups/stews and serve with rice or millet.
One of my favorites made recently is a sweet potato and kale curry soup using peanut butter. I did not use coconut milk, but chicken stock for the liquid base.
