VEGETARIAN CUISINE
There isn't much in Tanzania that is specifically billed as 'vegetarian', but there are many
vegetarian options and you can find
wali
(cooked rice) and
maharagwe
(beans) everywhere.
The main challenges are keeping variety and balance in your diet, and getting enough pro-
tein, especially if you don't eat eggs or seafood. In larger towns, Indian restaurants are the
best places to try for vegetarian meals. Elsewhere, ask Indian shop owners if they have any
suggestions; many will also be able to help you find fresh yoghurt. Peanuts
(karanga)
and
cashews
(korosho)
are widely available, as are fresh fruits and vegetables.
