Creamy avocado and slow-cooked peppers make a delicious combination in this rich, velvety soup. Serve hot out of the slow cooker or refrigerated and cold.

Tanzania sits at a crossroads in the spice trade routes from India. That's why Indian spices ended up in so many Tanzanian dishes like this fish curry. The dish originated in Zanzibar but is now enjoyed all over the eastern coast of Africa. Coconut milk enriches the curry and gives it a tropical flavor. Serve over boiled yuca, potatoes, or rice.
