Notes:

I adapted this recipe to include elements of the Congo Cookbooks version of Domoda. Here is the link to
that recipe.

If you are using chicken then make sure you sear the chicken in a little oil or fat before
boiling. The dish is also referred to as 'Durango' in Mandinka and as 'Mafe' by the Wollofs
of Senegal.
