Kikalayi 101
The Platter
Kikalayi is a generous feast: crispy pork tossed with tomatoes, onions and cabbage, served center‑table so everyone reaches in. Add lime, salt and chili for that Kampala snap.

Where to find it
Follow the smoke in Kampala — Wandegeya, Kansanga, Makindye. Listen for the sizzle of the kalayi pan and laughter around stacked trays.
How it’s made
Hot, fast, bold
Fry until edges are golden. Toss with aromatics (tomato, onion, pepper, cabbage). Finish with paprika, black pepper and fresh herbs. Serve on a lusaniya to share.
Sides
