Indulge in Nutmeg Mixed Spice Mandazi, crispy, golden, and infused with warm nutmeg and aromatic spices. These East African fried dough treats are perfect for breakfast, snacks, or tea time Today feels very much like a weekend. There is an undeniable calm in the air. A kind of quietness makes it easy to lose track of the actual day of the week. I have been sensing this energy since I woke up this morning. I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this same feeling. Perhaps it has something to do with the lingering national election atmosphere. Even though the ballots have already been cast, the results have begun to settle into the national consciousness. It is as if everyone remains suspended in a state of pause. Conversations are slower, routines feel lighter, and the usual urgency that defines weekdays seems to have taken a break.

cucumber-mint-raita-nairobi-kitchen-recipe

Cool down with this refreshing Cucumber Mint Raita—creamy yogurt blended with crisp cucumber and fresh mint for the perfect side to spicy dishes or as a light dip. Today’s dip is Raita, a cooling and creamy classic that originates from the Indian subcontinent. Raita is a well-loved condiment. It is made primarily from dahi (a type of yogurt also known as curd). It often includes raw or cooked vegetables, herbs, and spices. Its main role is to offer a refreshing contrast. This contrast enhances the enjoyment of the bold and spicy dishes typically found in Indian and South Asian cuisine. Raita’s creamy base balances the heat of dishes like curries, kebabs, and biryanis. This balance makes it an essential addition to many traditional meals.
