Katogo
Ugandan breakfast stew of green bananas, beef, beans and groundnut paste.
About Katogo
Katogo is a Ugandan breakfast dish whose name reflects ingredients cooked together in one pot. This profile follows a Kampala matooke version combining green bananas with beef, beans, groundnut paste, tomatoes and green pepper.
The bananas provide a soft, starchy base that absorbs the savoury beef and tomato sauce. Beans add body, groundnut paste gives nutty richness, and green pepper and curry powder contribute fresh warmth.
The finished dish is thick and spoonable, with tender pale banana pieces, beef and beans held in a creamy orange-brown groundnut sauce. Its components remain visible but are bound into a cohesive breakfast stew.
