Agatoke ni ndagara

Agatoke ni Ndagara is a popular traditional dish from Burundi/Rwanda, celebrated for its simplicity and rich flavors. The name refers to a combination of “agatoke,” which are green bananas often used in cooking, and “ndagara,” small dried fish that add a unique taste to the dish.

The preparation typically involves boiling the green bananas until tender, then mashing or serving them whole alongside the ndagara. The fish is either fried or boiled with spices, onions, and tomatoes to create a flavorful sauce. Sometimes, groundnut sauce or vegetables are added to enrich the meal.

This dish is not only nutritious but also deeply rooted in Rwandan culture, representing communal gatherings and shared meals. It’s a staple for many households, showcasing the country’s culinary heritage.
