This is a most beloved recipe. It’s a great example of the fusion of flavours that resulted when the Ismaili people of the Gujarat in India immigrated to East Africa in the 1920s. They brought their knowledge of spices and adapted their use to the new ingredients they found. The combination of those spices with coconut, chicken, eggs and potatoes makes this one of the Nimji family’s all-time favourites. We hope it will be one of yours as well.
