Theek Che !

I am not khoja but have had much to do with them socially and religiously. Among the Shias of the world, the Khojas are the most productive and useful people, contributing to the community like no other Shias. God bless the late Mulla Asghar.

No Swahili - but I can understand some words in Gujrati.  I sometimes get lost if someone tries to undertake a full-blown conversation in Gujrati.

But yes, there are other Gujratis in this site. Hope they will respond to your thread.

Welcome aboard.

In swahili Kuku means chicken and paka means cat, lol. So one of our dishes is 'chicken cat'  

Anyways, i love that dish but havent had the luck to taste in quite a while. If you know its recipee n method, ill appreciate if you post it.

Kh.

edit: i speak swahili/gujrati and kutchi..

I   kukupaka, it's yummy. I've always thought the name strange,   'cat & chicken' curry.   I did read an intresting article on how the name came about. Will see if I can hunt it up.

Lol, its not that bad coz it doesnt really contain cat soup   That was just a joke coz the term "pakaa" means cat in swahili. However, that word in the dish refers to "thick/gravy-ish/well-done" curry   We also have something called macchi (fish) paaka, which is made of fish instead of chicken   ..It tastes great..

Macchi = fish (in gujrati)
samaki = fish (in swahili)

What the brother forgot to add is that these are coconut based curries, containing either chicken or fish. Pretty tame!

Habari bwana s4ever. Nimefurahi sana kujua kwamba kuna mzungumzaji wa lugha tukufu ya Swahili kwenye ukumbi hiki cha ShiaChat. Tunakuombea kheri na uzima, Insha'Allah. Hadi wakati nyingine, kwaheri

Wasalaam.

Well gujrati & swahili are not related at all.. swahili's just a mixture of bantu (an african language) and arabic..
Many khojas knw swahili cuz after living in east africa..its one of the widely spoken languages around.. as for gujrati.. thats their mother tongue.. or katchi for others(like me!).. lol

Gujrati is too sweet to listen.My parents speak in gujrati when they talk to their siblings but neither with us nor with each other.So basically I get chance to listen to it is when i go to my native land.
