Chakalaka is a vegetarian/vegan South African dish that can be classified into various categories: colorful, spicy, and quick to cook. It can be an appetizer, a salsa or a condiment, or a main course, dependent on the dish it is served with. The most common way to Chakalaka is by cooking finely chopped root vegetables like garlic, onions, and carrots in spices such as curry powder and leaf masala, bell peppers, tomatoes, tomato sauce, baking beans, and other spices. Other ingredients could include chilis, ginger, shredded cabbage, cauliflower, or whatever else you have. The flavor of this dish is as delicious warm as cold. Like other relishes, it gets its unique flavor with the course. Chakalaka Tips & Tricks Onions should be sliced into pieces or cut into cubes. The onions for Chakalaka must be cooked first in hot vegetable oil until they turn translucent or slightly caramelized. Choose Fresh and canned tomatoes -- either whole or pureed can be used to make the Chakalaka. The puree of tomatoes makes the Chakalaka soupier; if required, its acidity could be tempered with a touch of sugar. On the other hand, fresh tomatoes can be cooked for a short time before being added to the other vegetables to get the full flavor. Baked beans canned in cans are the most popular choice for Chakalaka because they don't require cooking -- they are just warming alongside the other ingredients. Leaf masala powder and curry leaf masala powder give Chakalaka its distinct spice. They mix spices, and herbs typically made up of turmeric, coriander, chili powder cloves, cumin, cinnamon cardamom, curry leaves, pimento, star aniseed, and bay leaves, to mention just a few. They are usually included at the start of the preparation. They are cooked in hot oil and onions to enhance. Chakalaka can be enjoyed cold or hot. It can be stored in a refrigerator with foil or jars for up to five days.
