NDENGU CURRY IN COCONUT CREAM

Whenever I think about Ndengu or Pojo in Swahili or Mung Dal in Indian or Green Grams in English, 🤗😄 I always think of Chapati. My next favourite meal after R&B (Rice & Beans)! I like Rice and Ndengu but not that much, I would rather eat the ndengu on its own. I love coconut in anything, and that is what I love about this Ndengu curry. You can check out the full recipe on my YOUTUBE channel below. Comment or ask any question and I will be happy to answer.
