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 gives the meat a smoky flavor and a crispy exterior, 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 commonly enjoyed during social gatherings and celebrations. It is not just a meal but a cultural experience, bringing people together to share food and stories.
