Carol Cooks Malawi Cuisine!
The terrific Food Blogger and Cookbook Author Carol has a great series called “A – Z World Cusines” and for the letter “M” she chose the African country of Malawi….as she writes:
“A traditional Malawian chicken stew (often called chicken curry) is a hearty, flavourful dish with a rich tomato base, usually seasoned with curry powder and served over nsima (thick cornmeal porridge) or rice.”
Carol goes on to add:
“The recipe generally includes chicken, oil, onions, celery, garlic, carrots, tomato paste, whole peeled tomatoes, white distilled vinegar, and yellow curry powder…”
It’s just one of many recipes and facts about Malawi she shares…see them all here:
I have shared a number of her stories about the world’s food, like this one highlighting the food of Honduras:
I will be cooking from Carol’s holiday cookbook this week and will share that story – and a link to her book – then…what I loved about Malawi is that my wife and I went on our first safari this summer and loved learning about the culture and food of Southern Africa:
Yes, a fiery welcome to a great meal, an the night ended with some traditional dancing as well:
It’s called a “Boma”, which you can see more of here:
I want to make clear that all of the wild animals on our safari trip are protected – the anti-poaching efforts are robust and getting better every day…so you can drive and see animals living in the wild – like this Rhino we encountered:
Safari tourism helps generate the money needed to protect these magnificent creatures!

Gosh, I’ve been to Madagascar and Mozambique, but had to look up Malawi! The singing and dancing was very similar. Don’t you love Sundowners?!!
I love a sundowner too…I agree about the similarities in singing and dancing, Mimi 🙂
this sounds delish, as I love curries!
Thank you, Beth 🙂 x
I love researching and trying the eastern and southern cooking of South African countries as their interpretations of the so-called ‘curry’ dishes of the southern Asian lands like India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and occasionally Bangladesh et al can vary quite considerably from that of Australia, also a hugely ‘curries’-loving country. I notice they quite correctly call it ‘chicken stew’ – the word ‘curry’ stems from the British East India Company days and now encompasses main dishes in 23 countries in the world, all different – hence, to me, it has little meaning !
Hi Eha thank you for your comment and yes “curry” so many variations around the world as you correctly point out…Loved by many 🙂
Hi John thank you so much for your continued support of my A-Z and for sharing it is much appreciated…:)
I commented on Carol’s post. Shared on Twitter, John.
