This week in our kitchen we make South Africa’s Favourite Side Dish, there is no 7-colours or Braai without CHAKALAKA.
Jump to Recipe
I swear I can’t go to a braai or family gathering and not have Chakalaka on my plate, I love chakalaka hot and spicy but not unbearable on the tongue.
This side dish is amazing with a plate full of braai’d meat.
But really, my favourite way to enjoy this is on a hot dog roll with melted cheese.
