Adapted from an old Kenyan recipe, Githeri features slow-cooked corn and beans, gently simmered in a fragrant and spicy coconut milk base.

The basic recipe will have sweet corn and beans boiled together and then fried in little oil to get a soft texture. A popular meal, served in boarding schools in Kenya, perhaps due to the cheap cost and high nutritional value of its ingredients
