Nyama Choma is a popular dish in East Africa, particularly in Kenya and Tanzania. The term translates to "grilled meat" in Swahili, and it typically features beef, goat, or chicken that is marinated and cooked over an open flame. This cooking method enhances the meat's flavor, making it a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Often served with side dishes like ugali (a type of maize porridge) or sukuma wiki (collard greens), Nyama Choma is more than just a meal; it is a social experience. Families and friends gather around the grill to enjoy the food and each other's company, making it a cherished tradition in the region.
