- Enjoy my take on Kenya style Matoke/ green bananas, very easy chakula(food) to make delicious. Only requires few ingredients. Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching.
Ingredients:
Beef
Green bananas
Potatoes
Tomatoes
Onion/ Garlic
Fresh coriander
Chillies
Curry/ Coriander powder
Cooking oil
Beef cubes
Tomatoe paste/puree
I always smile when I see Kenyans preparing /eating matooke🇺🇬.😊😊😊
I suppose it's different to how you would prepare it in Uganda..
thanks for green bananas l am for eritrea but i like kenya and ugandas food
i cooked that for my wife she loved it thanks
Fell in love with this dish when I was barely 10 years old. Never forgotten the taste since.
The first I met mpilikanyi in hulinghurm we eat a delicious dish of matooke it was forgotten day in my life. I wish I could come back just to eat the same food. Kenyan ladies must come and open up a matooke restaurant here in luanda.
The culture, the humility, the tips and most of all the Matoke. Yumm. Thanks for this gift Wanjiru.
You are welcome @Kove K and thank you for leaving a comment.
This the best kenyan food that I enjoyed the time I was studying in kenya.❤
My husband teached me how to cut and cook matoke, nice! I'm going to cook it again this week x
It's good you have someone to show you how to cook Matoke, it's easy will be fine, all the best.Thanks for watching my channel and the comment, it's appreciated.
Dine with Jane I appreciate you replied! Much love x
Min Seo Yeon bless up your husband!

I'm Chinese and I will try this recipe tomorrow. Thank you!
You are welcome, thank you too
oh! asante sana dadangu nimekaribiya asante kwa kuni karibisha thanks a lot my dear
Really interesting to learn how to prepare these african recipes,hope i Will be able to make MATOKE ......Great !!!
Thanks for the post I enjoyed how you cooked it's now my turn to try 😋 the one thing I like about you is you are simple and you don't use much species,,and the spices you use are well known by almost each one 🦋
I forgot the yams and casavas. When mum didn't feel like cooking for lunch she would just stem the bananas and serve them with just sliced raw ripe tomatoes sprinkled with salt for dipping. Its great.
can't wait to go back n try it nice one indeed.yummy
Very tasty I'm going for matoke today thank you for the video.
Few drops of corriander😂😂😂,si tuongee tu kiswahili😂😂
😃😃😃
Mmmm!
Yummy!
This is my comfort food from my home country Kenya.
😞😞 I miss this dish soooo much.
Thank you for sharing👍👍🙌🙌
Oh that's nice to know yoy love good food as comfort food, is it not possible for you to make it? Thanks for watching Ms
Hi Jane i love the cooking but i think you should have browned the meat first then add coriander when food is almost ready....and salt too ...but otherwise it looks amazing
Valentine Mulaa Your style her style kaa na yako
@@MrGwax It's not a fight but coriander hufaa kuwekwa mwisho kabisa wakati hata ushazima moto for you to fully enjoy it's flavor. We can all correct each other and better one another
Hi Ken, I get your point, Certain food would require you to add at the end if you don't want the flavour for coriander in your food, but I love the taste and the difference it makes at the start of cooking, I do know as a chef working in a professional kitchen and being in place where the appearance of food is more important than the taste sometimes, coriander is one of my favourite herbs, and if you watch Indian cooking you will notice mostly they add most of the ingredients at the beginning of cooking. But we are different in how we do things, whatever works for might not work for me,thank you for letting me know your opinion. Have a good evening
Spice recipe 👌
Thank you @Noel Tumanjong
nice meal mmmmh sweet ata ndio napika supper leo meat favourite

lol...me too!
lol we should cook this together, you get the ingredients and I'll come with that drop of water
lol totally bratha nice
bratha nice lol. my thoughts exactly. looks yummy! I will try her style too
That the food I was literally brought up with but cooked with no manufactured spice just tomatoes and chilis. if I couldn't get it from mum her mum(grandma) across the road or her grand ma next house. Grandma always had it for lunch I would eat it there. At home mum would steam the bananas mush them then serve them with meat stews. We also had lot of it cooked with Duma's potato's and meat using similar cooking technique she used in the vid. Dumas(arrow roots) , malenge (pumpkins) were sometimes omitted. Great grandma would always use all the above ingredients plush sweet potatoes also the yellow ones or white ones. The grandma's always had githeri mashed or loose one at all times or these foods. As a kid they would force me to eat the arrow roots or pumpkins. Other wise our other food was rice, githeri, chapati though mum could make the best fish stew on earth. They start us with those mashed bananas and tubers as our first solid food as infants.
Just made matoke yesterday!!!llove ur videos btw en will be using this recipe next time😝
+Njesh Kimani Thanks, always appreciate wen u leave a comment. u will definately love it..

Thank you Shumi Mwanyule
why add tomato paste when you have already put fresh tomatoes? Thanks though. Looks yummy.
Very nice.
Most people I know cook the beef separate from the carbs. It looks delicious though.
food looks soooooo god
That looks delicious 😋 I'm going to make minus the meat.
Sometime me 2 cooking like this banana and potatoes
totally wrong how you used coriander leaves professional chefs know why. Should be used towards the end
c yegon 👍
Not really. You can use at the start and the end.
Tchiya Makasa Thank you! Some ppl act like they know it all!
Right
c yegon amesema kenyan style which part don't u get nkt
Looks very delicious. just a question: I see you adding coriander early on however people say it's a delicate herb and should be added just about when the food is almost cooked. what's your take?
Am sorry Judy that I have just gone through some comments now and realised that I didn't reply, yes I understand and know that herbs should mostly be added the last minutes of cooking, which mostly it's used as garnish rather than flavouring your dish, and that's why I lways use my coriander earlier in my cooking, as I was the taste, aroma and flovour of Coriander, you can do either it's all how you preffer. Hope I answered your question.
Dine with Jane Yes you did, thank you very much.
I'm a cook & add coriander to my food, depending on what I'm cooking, in several stages. Brings out more flavor this way. Happy cooking! 😊
Just sub"d girl! I was looking for this recipe.Ahsante sana 😀😀
Hi Sumaiya, welcome to my channel hope you find some nice and easy recipes. Hope turn out a good or even better than mine, enjoy dear. Take care.
Beautiful

Thanks alot Shiro for watching, it was my mum's sufuria, I dont know where she got it, I love it too.

Thanks for all the recipes, can one add carrots & peas into the matoke?
+Lfuraha lovely, Hi lovely thanks for your comment, yes you can add carrots and peas at the begining befor e adding potatoes, let me know how it goes.
+Dine with Jane (Irrockshi) much appreciated, will definitely let you know. thank you
That looks sooooo good! Where do you get the matoke?
+PaperclippyCG . Thanks dear, i get them in Asian shop or Indian shop.
Dine with Jane are u out of kenya??

Thanks Gideon, hope you tried to cook it.
Thanks for the video. I was hoping to see whole matoke with no potatoes,May be u can make a video. But overall it's great
Hi Philomena thanks for your comment and suggestion, yes I do have a recipe hopefully coming soon with matoke with no potatoes, hope you are doing fine. Take care bye.
SO DELICIOUS 😋
Did you boil the potatoes and the plantain before putting them into the beef mix ?
Hie XxEdenfxx thanks for your question, but no I didn't boil them before adding them to the beef, but the potatoes and bananas won't have the flavor from the beef, and might end up being too mashy. Hope thats helpfull.
Thank you :)
You are welcome dear
looks so great can I use plantains with same recipe
No.matoke and plantains are two different types of bananas.
Asante :)
+muslimahsista, Karibu na nashukuru
👌👌👌👍👍
nice one
Thanks delicious.
jamani! jamani!jamani, kwanini wanikumbusha nyumbani?
Hie Jmelias, aki si kwa ubaya, I think sometimes we just kinda have miss what we grew up eating, I miss some things as well alot.
Thank you Jane for the recipe. Do you have a recipe for cooking fried fish...particularly Tilapia?
And what is the difference made when one adds dhania after food is cooked instead of cooking it with the onions initially.
@ Norah thanks for your question. First of all when cooking and you add coriander/dhania with the onions or tomatoes, a meal get the flavour from the dhania, and it give it a nice aroma as well, whilst when mostly you add coriander/dhania the last minute it's for garnishing/decorating the meal and it gives it a fresh herb taste. so it's what you choose to do with it I suppose, you can do both.
@ Norah Wanjiru i have a recipe i will put it together and i will send you a link if that is okay. Thanks gal.
i totally agree
You forgot to add some salt.
But the food looks nice.
olanga samuel She added bullion cubes, those have plenty of salt.
I thot she should have boiled the meat first? and how safe are those beef cubes
I don't have to boil the meat as, It's tender and it takes nearly 30 minutes to cook the dish, and I don't know what you mean by how safe the beef cubes are, am the one who cut the cubes myself.
"Hope you enjoy your dinner" where ?? Stop joking
hi your cooking is amazing.... how do you puree tomatoes
@ Shiku thanks for nice compliment, it's a little bit of a process to do puree tomatoes, 1. fresh tomatoes then score at the end of each like a cross light not too deep of a cut, place them in boiling water for a minute or two until they look like the skin is just starting to peel off, take them of the boiling water and put them in cold water with ice cubes and peel of the skin, you can cut them in half if you wish, then place them in a blender, blend until smooth, then with a sieve pour the blended tomatoes and sieve the tomatoe seeds off, and now you can use your pureed tomatoes. Hope that is helpfull. Thanks for watching.
what temperature is ur cooker set?? lol my cooker has six levels 1-6 low to high and its electric like its. thanks
+Abdi Mo, Hi Abdi thanks for asking i use number 4, as 5 would be too high, and 3 is too low, but let your food cook slow so as to get all the lovely flavors.
+Dine with Jane (Irrockshi) thank you very much Jane. I like your dishes. fresh ingredients all the way. really appreciate it.
Abdi Mo
@ Abdi thanks for your comment, i appreciate it too, yeah love fresh ingredients too, and use as much as i can, take care bye
Eti am going to add a drop of water😂😂😂😂
Why didn't you put the instruction
you can really cook it's waaw but potatoes are not very good with matoke i prefer only matoke
Hi Nawaal, thank you. I some times just cook the matoke without potatoes but with vegetables on the side, if I want to eat more like a vegetarian dish.
Exactly...horrible
