About Kanda

Kanda, a traditional dish with roots in West African cuisine, is a flavorful and protein-rich delicacy often made with minced or ground meat, spices, and sometimes millet or cassava flour for binding. Commonly shaped into balls or patties, Kanda is typically cooked in a savory tomato-based sauce alongside vegetables. This hearty dish carries significant nutritional value, as it is high in protein thanks to its meat content and offers essential vitamins and minerals from added vegetables and spices. Made with natural, whole ingredients, Kanda can be a wholesome option, though the overall healthiness depends on preparation methods. If fried, it may be higher in fat, whereas baked or simmered versions are lighter. For a more balanced take, pairing Kanda with a side of nutrient-rich leafy greens or whole grains works well, making it a versatile and satisfying addition to any meal plan.
