What African Dishes Can You Enjoy From Funzo Foods?

Funzo’s tin-packed range has eight dishes from Africa. If you are hunting for African dishes to try, sort them by mood: something hearty, something creamy, or something small and sweet.

Zanzibar Biryani: Fragrant Spiced Rice for First-Time African Food Fans

Zanzibar Biryani is fragrant spiced rice layered with tender meat and Zanzibar spices. It is the gentlest entry point if you already eat biryani, because the rice and meat feel familiar while the spice blend tastes new. One tin serves one or two people.

Ugali with Beef

Ugali with Beef is soft maize meal served with slow-cooked beef stew. Ugali is the everyday staple of East Africa, eaten by hand and scooped through the stew. At 500g it is the largest tin on the menu, and it serves one or two people.

Kuku Paka

Kuku Paka is a Kenyan coconut chicken curry with tender chicken in a creamy sauce. It is rich and mild. It is closer to a creamy white karahi than a spicy masala, so it suits anyone nervous about heat. One tin serves one or two people.

Makai Paka

Makai Paka is sweet corn slow-cooked in a creamy coconut sauce with African spices. It tastes sweet, fragrant, and comforting, and the menu lists no meat in it. Message Funzo about ingredients if you have dietary needs. 

Zanzibar Mix (Urojo)

Zanzibar Mix, also known as Urojo, is a popular street food from Zanzibar featuring a tangy, spiced yellow broth served with potatoes, bhajias, chutneys, and crispy toppings. It is a flavourful mix of textures and sweet, sour, and spicy tastes.

Dhokla

Dhokla is a soft, steamed gram flour cake tempered with mustard seeds and curry leaves. It is spongy and lightly tangy, which makes it a good starter or tea-time bite. One tin serves one person.

Dhokla comes from Gujarat, and it sits on the menu because Indian Ocean trade tied Gujarat to the Swahili coast for centuries. It pairs well with Zanzibar Mix when you want two savoury, tangy tins side by side.

Choco-Coco Mandazi

Choco-Coco Mandazi is East African fried dough with a rich chocolate and coconut coating. Expect a crisp outside and a soft centre with a lightly spiced, coconut-scented bite. One tin serves one person, so it works as a personal sweet after any main.

Choose this one when you want a finish that needs no extras. 

Mandazi with Choco-Dip

Mandazi with Choco-Dip is fluffy East African donuts served with a warm chocolate dip. The dough stays plain, so the dip does the sweet work. One tin serves one person, and it is easy to split over a cup of tea.

How to Prepare African Food From a Tin in About Five Minutes

Open the tin and heat the food in a pan or microwave for three to five minutes. Funzo includes heating instructions with every order. Stir as it warms and serve it hot. Keep tins in the fridge until you are ready to eat and finish them within seven days.

3 Quick Meal Ideas Using Funzo Foods’ Tin-Packed Dishes

A Weeknight Dinner: Zanzibar Biryani with Kuku Paka

Heat one Zanzibar Biryani tin and one Kuku Paka tin, then serve them together with a cucumber and yoghurt salad. 

Solo Lunch Idea: Ugali With Beef and Fresh Salad 

Warm one Ugali with Beef tin in a pan and add a tomato and onion salad on the side. The maize meal and beef stew make a heavy, satisfying lunch, and the fresh salad cuts through it.

Tea-time Spread: Zanzibar Mix, Dhokla and Mandazi

Put out Zanzibar Mix and Dhokla as savoury bites, then finish with a tin of Mandazi with Choco-Dip. Guests get tangy, soft, and sweet flavours without you spending the afternoon in the kitchen.
