 The main ingredients of the dish are matooke and a sauce (beef, offal, beans)

Katogo originated from Buganda and Western Uganda, where it was initially perceived as a poor man's dish.There is no exact chronology as to when Ugandans started cooking katogo, but as long as matooke has been around, so has katogo.The Baganda came up with the katogo dish which is a combination of offal and matooke.
