Pap and Chakalaka are staple dishes in South African cuisine. Pap is a maize-based porridge that is typically served with a variety of stews, sauces, and curries. It is a soft, pudding-like dish that is often enjoyed for breakfast. Chakalaka is a spicy tomato and onion-based vegetable relish that is often served as a side dish with pap, stews, and braais (barbecues). This relish is made with a mixture of vegetables, including bell peppers, carrots, and cabbage, as well as spices such as chili, ginger, and cumin. The combination of pap and chakalaka is a staple in South African households, and is considered a traditional comfort food for many South Africans.
