Viazi Karai

What we know so far

Viazi karai are the orange battered potatoes of the Kenyan coast: chunks of boiled potato dipped in a turmeric-yellow gram flour batter and deep-fried until the coating is crisp and the inside is soft. They are sold from evening street stalls in Mombasa and Lamu with a sharp tamarind sauce (ukwaju) for dipping, and eaten as a snack, an iftar dish, or alongside mishkaki and kebabs.

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.
