MAYAMANGA/MATOBOSHA YA WIMBI/VIPOPOO VYA UNGA WA WIMBI
Mayamanga is a Bajuni (Wathikuu) indigenous and ethnic local delicacy. The Bajuni people live along Kenyan coast from Lamu towards south Somalia. The mayamanga is similar to Matobosha(Mombasa, Kenya) and Vipopoo (Tanzania), the only difference being the type of flour being used. This is a kind of delicacy which is basically a cooked (flour) dough in a creamy coconut sauce. You can serve this traditional delicacy as a dessert.
