Mbaazi is a Swahili name for pigeon peas, which are cream and slightly brown in color but when cooked turn golden brown. Mbaazi grows in dry areas, like Voi, Machakos County, and the rest. To prepare this meal you need a little patience since it might take time but when well prepared and served, it’s a very reputable meal.
