Maru bhajias
One of my favourite things about living in a mixed culture environment (yes, Nairobi is very mixed!) is all the different foods you get to enjoy. Very evident in all the different kinds of restaurants that are thriving. Another is learning how to make the foods you love from other cultures so that you can have them on demand, in the comfort of your home! Yum yum!

I’m so glad I can finally make them at home too, on demand! Read on to learn how…
