sekelo mogo without the kolsa

As we all really love mogo in our household I often experiment with different recipes and cooking methods, just to ensure that we get a lot of different dishes from this humble root. From sekelo mogo to curried, broiled, boiled, it all works for us, we simply love mogo. but sekelo mogo remains a favourite.  Now everyone knows that sekelo mogo is best when it imparts the smoky barbecue flavour but I don’t always have the time to get the barbi going so I have tried a few different method to sekwa (roast)the mogo and am sharing my recipe with you all.

As I said, we love mogo in all its forms and recently, I was inspired to recreate a mogo snack that our friend from Dar Mrs  Bhanu masi Patani used to make.  This lady was a fabulous cook, a touch of magic in her culinary expertise.  Mogo would be roasted then finely chopped.  It would then be mixed with various other ingredients to make a truly more..ish dish.  My recipe below tells you how to make this

Cut the mogo from the center in to 2 equal parts. ( as can see in the  pic) put in the ziplog bag and microwave for 2 minutes ,take  out from the bag and place the mogo in the toaster oven for about 30 minutes or until its done.

      2 pieces finely chopped mogo 1 tea spoon salt 1 1/2 tea spoon chili powder 1 table spoon lime joice hand full chopped cilantro hand full roasted pea nuts. Mix all together and enjoy.
