Nyama choma with kachumbari

Nyama choma is grilled or roasted meat, prepared over a fire in Kenya. Goat is one choice, known as mbuzi choma. Meat may be simply seasoned or marinated with ingredients such as garlic, herbs and chili before grilling. It is eaten at gatherings as well as in restaurants.[1][2]

Kachumbari accompanies the meat as a fresh salad of chopped tomato and onion. Some versions add coriander and lemon or lime juice. The salad is prepared separately and served with the hot meat; a starch or cooked vegetables can complete the meal.[1]
