East African cuisine is influenced by Arab, Indian, and indigenous African flavors, creating a unique blend of spices and ingredients. Staple foods include maize (used in ugali), millet, and teff (used in Ethiopian injera). Stews such as Ethiopian doro wat and Kenyan nyama choma are central to the diet, often paired with spiced vegetables and legumes. Coastal regions, particularly in Tanzania and Zanzibar, incorporate coconut, seafood, and Indian spices, creating aromatic dishes like pilau and samosas.
