  4. Paul Vieira

    Wow. Loved this. Great portions – even of the rice, so it fed the two of us for a few meals. Tasty with a nice zip to it.

  5. Kim Kreutzer

    This was the second one I made and again I thought it was fantastic – little kick, lots of leftovers – my son liked this one also!

  6. Trina

    AMAZING!

  7. Luisa Down

    The second step is “Add water, Kuku Paka mix and tomatoes” but it doesn’t specify how much water.
    The only water in the ingredients list is the three cups of water for the rice. Can you please specify an amount?

    • Leanna Graves

      Hi Luisa,
      It’s one cup of water for the sauce and 3 cups of water for the rice.

  8. Nicole

  13. Kerry

    Growing up in Kenya and South Africa I was excited to try this. Easy to make and not super spicy (East African food can be spicy!). The whole family gave it a thumbs up.

  14. Sarah

    Our family loves this recipe – our toddler included. I always add a bit of extra veggies to the dish. It’s great every time

  15. Melanie Craik

    I added two carrots and half of a cauliflower instead of the second chicken breast and it was AMAZING!!!!! Thank you!

  16. Gail

    So yummy! Flavourful with balanced spices, easy to make and not hot. Need to get back to Duncan market and buy some more!

  17. Peggy Donnelly

    Luka Paka is the best. Been having it for years now but tried it with cut up lamb instead of chicken last night as was Devine. Used leftover lamb roast. So tender. Highly recommend

    Had this a few summers ago in Cowichan Bay market and fell in love! Nice little kick to it and perfect on a cold winters day! Love your products!

  19. Tana Boyce

    Very tasty, and something new for us to try. Enough for a meal and two more for the freezer.

  21. Rocky

    You won’t find anything more delicious.

  22. Candice

    Even the kids like it!

  23. Julie Burns

    Wonderful meal! Easy to prepare and we added extra carrots, spinach, fresh tomatoes and sugar snap peas to make it go farther. So glad we stopped by the farmer’s market and found this gem!

  24. Elizabeth

    Hello, my sister recommended the Kuku Paka and I am all set to make it. Recipe says 2 chicken breast, can you give me an approximate wt. of chicken as I am using pieces of chicken breast. Thanks

    • Leanna Graves

      Hi Elizabeth. Sorry I missed this! I usually use about a pound of chicken but it won’t affect the flavour if you use more or less:) thank you for your support!

  25. Rose David

    It was amazing and fast. This is the second one I’ve tried. So far so good. Very satisfied with what I’ve made so far. I need to get back to Duncan market and try the others very soon.

  26. Janice McKay

  27. MJ

    I was delighted with how delicious this soup is, and absolutely delighted that our 14 yr old granddaughter keeps asking for it.

  28. Fiona Johnson
