Chilli beef and tatties - Uganda

To feed: 5

Suitable for: Meat eaters

Preparation time: 20 minutes

Cooking time: 15-20 minutes

It’s a common dish - not soooo traditional but one of my favourites!

Most people in the villages boil the meat and just add chilly and salt and serve with cassava, sweet potatoes, and (posho) maize flour or millet mingled.

Tomato puree (1 tsp)
