Below is the complete List of Snacks In Kenya
Kaimati
Kaimati is sweet Kenyan dumplings consisting of flour, water, yogurt, yeast, and ghee. The dough is fried in oil until golden brown, then coated in sugar syrup made with sugar, water, lemon rinds, and a pinch of vanilla sugar or cardamom powder.
These sweet treats are especially popular during the month of Ramadan as a dessert or a snack.
Viazi karai
Viazi karai is a crunchy Kenyan specialty consisting of boiled potatoes that are coated in a batter made with regular and gram flour, and either turmeric or saffron. The battered potatoes are then deep-fried in hot oil until golden brown. When served, viazi karai potatoes are typically served with tamarind chutney on the side, although any type of chutney will do.
One should be careful not to overheat the oil because the batter will burn before the potatoes are thoroughly cooked on the inside. These crispy potatoes are sold on most street corners throughout coastal Kenya.
Kenyan Bajias
Kenyan bajias are a popular street food item consisting of thinly sliced potatoes that are seasoned with turmeric, cumin, chili powder, garam masala, coriander, ginger, salt, and black pepper. The potatoes are then battered and fried until golden brown.
Although the meal is native to coastal towns in Kenya, this delicious street snack was originally influenced by Indian people who were working on the railroad. It is recommended to pair bajias with a mango chutney called madras.
