I've never been to South Africa before but I would love to go and I've ALWAYS wanted to try their dishes especially the Chakalaka when I go, it is a traditional Braai dish)! I promised to learn how to make it so that I can enjoy it at home instead of waiting to go the South Africa before satisfying my cravings. So because of these craving I had for the dish, I asked chefs and home cooks for a recipe, I modified it to suit my taste (that means more pepper lol) and I am happy to share this recipe with you.
