About Amaganda

Amaganda combines unpeeled potatoes with beans. Chef Angelique Iraguha’s published version also includes sweet potatoes and dried corn, and is associated with family meals in Rwanda’s Northern Province.

The potatoes, beans and corn provide earthy flavours, while sweet potato adds sweetness. Salt is the only seasoning named in this recipe.

The ingredients are tender and served drained, rather than as a broth. The potato skins remain, giving the substantial mixture a rustic texture; it is served hot.
