About Viazi karai
Viazi Karai is a popular snack from Kenyan coastal cuisine, often enjoyed as a hearty street food treat. The dish consists of potatoes that are boiled until tender, then coated in a spiced gram flour (chickpea flour) batter and deep-fried to golden perfection. The batter is typically seasoned with turmeric, chili, and other spices, giving the dish its vibrant color and bold flavor. While rich in carbohydrates from the potatoes, Viazi Karai also provides some protein and fiber from the gram flour. However, as a deep-fried food, it is relatively high in fat and calories, making it more of an indulgent treat than an everyday meal. Pairing it with fresh kachumbari (tomato and onion salad) or a tangy tamarind dip can enhance its nutritional value by adding vitamins and minerals. Moderation is key for enjoying this crispy, flavorful snack as part of a balanced diet.
