How to cook Kashata
Kashata is coconut-peanut brittle sold everywhere in Tanzania as street snack. Sugar is caramelized to amber and mixed with grated coconut. Eaten after meals or with tea.
- Chop peanuts; dry grated coconut if very wet.
- In a heavy pan combine sugar and water over medium heat.
- Stir constantly until sugar dissolves and turns amber brown.
- Reduce heat slightly; add cardamom and salt.
- Quickly stir in coconut and peanuts until fully coated.
- Pour immediately onto an oiled board or parchment.
- Flatten with an oiled board to about 1 cm thick.
- Cool completely before cutting — caramel is still very hot.
- Cut into squares or triangles with a sharp knife.
- Store airtight for several days.
Tips
- Do not let sugar go black — amber is the sweet spot.
- Mix quickly after adding coconut or caramel sets too fast.
- Oil the board and knife so kashata does not stick.
