Muamba de galinha or chicken muamba is a Central African dish made with chicken, red palm oil sauce called muamba de dendem, garlic, okra and hot chile pepper. Palm oil gives the dish a specific flavor, while lycopene provides the red color.


Studies have shown its various health benefits – it is rich in antioxidants, helpful in preventing heart disease, and regulates cholesterol. Since that part of Africa was a Portuguese colony for ages, Portuguese gastronomy had a great influence on the local cuisine, so as a result, many dishes are based on meat and palm oil.
