a recipe from Tanzania

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, season lightly with salt, and brown in a large pot. Add the chopped onions and grated carrots, reduce the heat, and cook briefly. Add the diced tomatoes, season with salt, and simmer for a few minutes. Stir in the coconut milk (about 3/4 of the can or all of it, depending on your taste), simmer for a few more minutes, and season with salt. Cook the rice in salted water according to the package instructions. White rice tastes best with it, but brown rice also works; please note the cooking time. About 15 minutes before the end of the cooking time, stir in the frozen peas (you can use the whole package if you like) and the finely chopped garlic. Season with salt and serve with the chicken.
