For the second day of BM#36 under Africn Cuisine , my journey headed to Kenya and Lybia . One recipe called Kenyan curried cabbage and another is Lybian Koriander salad are presented today from my kitchen .
The curried cabbage is a very unique recipe in which cabbage are cooked with carrots and onions in milk and curry paste . The taste was rich and different from that we usually prepare at our home. And the seond recipe of salad is more like mexican salsa . We liked both the dishes with some bread and orange juice. So let’s start the recipe . Yum
