I’ll eat just about any Western or Southern African dish with peanuts in it and mafe is one of my favorites. When I lived in Zambia, my favorite relish was any kind of ifisyashi, or vegetable stewed in a peanut powder. Whether it was cabbage, katapa (cassava leaves), or mushrooms, it was gone as soon as it hit my plate 😂

I come from the eastern part of Maharashtra, the western state of India, where Mumbai is located. And most of our bhajis or vegetable dishes are stew-consistency with roasted & crushed peanut powder for consistency & creaminess. These connections across continents are fascinating!
