"Dishes like pakora and kachori which both came back from India, chapati from East Africa, and shuwa, Oman's classic special event dish.... they slather a goat with a spicy paste consisting of cumin, coriander, red pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg. Then wrap the meat in palm or banana leaves, dig a hole, throw in some meat, and cover it up and leave underground for a day or two over hot coals."
