    Isqa rice

    25 minutes SERVES 4

    "Having been raised in a middle-class household and having no concept of the different socio-economic backgrounds my friends and I grew up under, I never understood why my mom never prepared this tasty month-end special (although I would later learn in many households, this was daily sustenance). It’s a nourishing mixture of rice, potatoes, cabbage, spinach and onions, sometimes flavoured with a cube of chicken stock, which was sometimes the closest thing to actual meat when things got extra meagre. Fried chicken gizzards on the side are lowkey mandatory." – Khanya Mzonwgana

    “Inspired by risotto, the mielie rice has plenty of flavour from the mushrooms and bacon, and is a filling accompaniment to fish curry.”- Mogau Seshoene

    Most Popular

    Aloo tikki firecrackers

    15–20 minutes SERVES 6

    “Aloo tikki firecrackers are crispy potato patties that bring the vibrant flavours of Indian street food right to your kitchen with minimal effort. Growing up, these crispy potato patties were a favorite treat – we’d sneak into the kitchen and tinker with our mom’s recipe. The magic lies in perfectly cooked and mashed potatoes mixed with aromatic spices and herbs, coated in a light chickpea flour crust for added crunch. It’s quick to prepare and the ingredients are easy to find. Luckily you don’t need exotic ingredients – aloo tikki can be made with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry.” - Hitesh Panchal of Kapoochka
