Yesterday I bought some fresh corn with the hope of making Adalu. I started reading some comments on my Ekuru post on Facebook and some commenters made reference to Abari/Sapala.  I decided I was going to give it a try. I combed through the internet for recipes and I realised the process is same as moinmoin, just switch corn for beans and put your own spin on it.

This blog post was first made in 2015, pictures on the post were recently updated to reflect where I am in my blogging journey.

You can learn how to wrap moin-moin in leaves by watching this video i made here.

Corn moi moi is sweet and has a high fibre content. Nourishing and delicious.

This is my first time trying this or tasting it and I nailed it, it tastes so good, I don’t know why I’ve never had it before. Le hubs also liked it but because he is not adventurous, I’m foresee me being the only one relishing this 3 times out of 4 when I make it again.

In keeping with my portion control and keeping my eating clean I served mine with Steamed Vegetable – Ugu, onions and mackerel – .
