Chu with chapati

Using pre-cooked meat (mutton, pork and especially beef… like left over from yesterday) considerably shortens cooking time.

This can be eaten with lots of different foods, including pasta, couscous [Wikipedia], rice, potatoes, ugali, chapati (see recipes on this site) and much, much more.
