Kabalagala

What we know so far

Kabalagala are Uganda's "pancakes", though they are nothing like a Western pancake: a stiff dough of very ripe small sweet bananas (the kabalagala or ndiizi type) kneaded with cassava flour, rolled out, cut into rounds with a cup and deep-fried until golden and chewy. They are sold from baskets at bus parks and school gates and made at home for tea; the cassava gives them a slight stretch and the bananas all the sweetness. Only rounds, please: Ugandan cooks say the ancestors will not forgive star-shaped kabalagala.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
