Let me introduce you to this beautiful pancake looking stack called ‘mkate wa mofa’. Imagine a bread like naan but better. Full of little air pockets waiting to soak up a good curry or sauce. The serving options don’t end there though, it pairs well with anything grilled or even on it’s own. I call them small but mighty because they’re very filling.
Mkate wa mofa freezes well but be sure to wrap it up in cling film.
