What it is

Fresh amaranth greens (mchicha) are finely blended or pounded into a smooth paste, then simmered with flaky pieces of white fish in a light, savory stew. Often prepared with a touch of coconut milk for creaminess, creating a unique texture and flavor.

Key ingredients

Amaranth greens (mchicha), white fish fillets (e.g., Tilapia), red onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, coconut milk (optional), cooking oil, salt, black pepper.

Optional tweaks

Ensure no starch-based thickeners are used to thicken the stew. Request minimal usage of tomatoes and onions in the base.

Watch out for

Overuse of tomatoes and onions, potential starch thickeners for the stew.
