AFROFUSIONNshima is the staple carbohydrate of Zambia. Known by many names around the continent, Nshima eaten for both lunch and dinner (or with a softer consistency as porridge for breakfast), can be prepared using most commonly corn meal, and sometimes cassava, sorghum and millet. Some of its names are- Sadza (Zimbabawe), Ugali (Kenya/Tanzania), Nsima (Malawi), Mieliepap/pap (South Africa) etc. Like Asia’s rice, this staple leans heavily on its accompaniment. It can be eaten with a vegetarian or meat stew. Some tribes will ferment the nshima to later sweeten and drink. It is versatile!
