Katikati

My banso and babanki families both claim ownership of this delicacy as do people from the Nkom tribe of Cameroon. I maintain that the best Kati Kati is made in Babanki . In its basic format, the authentic traditional recipe, its very simple to make –its basically chopped up chargrilled chicken with added salt and palm oil , simmered for approx. 15 minutes.
My adapted fusion version includes country onions, fusion tomatoe base sauce and sliced red and spring onions. Serving it with fufu ( I now use cauliflower fufu) and jamajama elevates it a heavenly feast…
