The Norm!!

Every household in Mombasa cooks this recipe at least once a week or even more. That is what makes living in the coast special. I know for a fact I love this recipe because of the aroma and not to forget that the plain old rice recipe can be tiresome. Wali wa nazi - Coconut rice ...mmmmmmmmhh is loved by so many. It is not just the flavor but the fluffiness of the rice. My mother loved making this recipe with Makaa- charcoal. She would put the Makaa - charcoal at the bottom of her Sufuria - pot and some ontop of the lid. This enhances the flavour. To make this recipe, she had her Tui la nazi - coconut milk stored in gallons, after a recent trip to the farm. Her belief is fresh ingredients equals fresh food. I knew my mother was in a good mood if I got back from school and the aroma of Nazi - coconut greeted me. Oh, good times  ; )))
I hope you enjoy making this recipe as much as I do.
