Somalian Pilau Rice with Banana & Kachumbari recipe

by Fafa GilbertLeave a Comment on Somalian Pilau Rice with Banana & Kachumbari recipe

Why will you pair Rice with Banana? The answer lies in the eating of this contrasting and suited combination of flavours and textures.

The aromatic and earthy flavour of the Pilau rice paired with the acidity from the Tomato Salad and sweet creamy nature of the Banana makes this Somalian Pilau Rice dish my new favourite meal.

Honestly the flavours were so good the spice blend made it to my collection of Spices to be launched tomorrow on http://www.buyndudu.com

300g of Basmati Rice
150ml of Water

HEALTH BENEFITS OF PAPAYA / PAWPAW

*Papayas are rich in Vitamins A, C and E and do contain high levels of antioxidants.
The high level of antioxidants prevents the oxidation of cholesterol hence reduces the risks of heart diseases.

Papaya is also rich in folic acid , helps boost ones immune system, high in fibre and reduces inflammation of one’s digestive system.

Papaya also contains Copper, Magnesium and Potassium. With all the above benefits Papaya/PawPaw qualifies as my super fruit.

B Vitamins which helps the heart

Yoghurt is rich in Protein which supports one’s metabolism as it keeps you fuller for longer, (particularly Greek Yogurt).
