Waiting for a cook
Tanzania · Zanzibar (Stone Town), also Dar es Salaam and Mombasa
Urojo is Zanzibar's street lunch: a tart, turmeric-yellow soup thickened with flour, soured with green mango or lime and often enriched with a little coconut milk, ladled over a bowlful of crisp things. Into the bowl go potato bhajia, black-eyed pea fritters, boiled potato, chickpeas, cassava crisps, a boiled egg, pieces of mishkaki skewered meat, and spoonfuls of coconut and tamarind chutney and chilli sauce. Every stall has its own mix, which is why it is called simply "mix".
The draft was written from 3 published sources and holds 20 ingredients and 6 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
