Caril de amendoim (translated as peanut curry) is a Mozambican dish made with coconut milk, chicken or horse mackerel, and peanuts. It is served mainly in the country's southern provinces of Maputo and Gaza. It is paired with a side of xima, a hardened maize porridge. [1] The peanuts are finely ground in water which gives the dish a creamy color and velvety texture. [2]
