Tripe, or what Kenyans lovingly call "Matumbo" is a common feature in our "Ugali" and "Sukumawiki" dish as a substitute for fried beef.

The downside of classic matumbo recipes is they can be quite bland, too peppery, drowning in watery soup or just not that pleasing to the palate.

So Pulselive has done one better, we have developed the perfect way to cook your matumbo that is guaranteed to leave you licking the plate afterwards.

It is acceptably sweet for a stew and still as savoury as we like it, with a nice thick soup. It is such a complete meal on its own that you can have it as is.

The Pulselive Twist to perfect fried Kenyan tripe

Just as the recipe has outlined, the two key ingredients for this recipe are honey and buttermilk (maziwa mala/lala).

The mala in this recipe serves well to thicken the soup and it also introduces a tinge of the savoury flavour.

Honey sweetens the tripe and masks that "grassy-earthy" taste that is often associated with matumbo.
