My family enjoyed this recipe. My son is interested in geography, so from time to time we research random countries, write a report, cook a meal etc. This time was Chad, which we knew next to nothing about, and it was a fun recipe to cook while learning about a new culture. I used dried beans and fresh tomatoes, and substituted the cardamom with allspice because that’s what I had in the pantry. Thanks for the interesting recipe! I will make it again.

In reply to Kak1960. Unsweetened! It's similar to cream of coconut, but with more water in it. When you look at the cans of coconut, there's regular and lite. The regular is the full-fat version that I use. You could also use the cream and just add some water if you can't find regular coconut milk.

Are you using sweetened or unsweetened full fat coconut milk? Is full fat the same as cream of coconut?

It looks very nice especially for a diabetic like me.

I add peanuts to this dish and serve on top of short grained brown rice. When eaten this way, it is more like a stew. Its in my regular rotation of vegetarian recipes.
