This is not how you cook/prepare both traditional seswa and pap…. Unless this is your own twist?
Wow 👌❤️🤗
Beautiful recipe! thank you for sharing
We don't cook our food the way you are doing
I am a Motswana born and bred here in Botswana but we do not prepare our phaletshe like that. We boil water and put in maize meal and nothing else in it…that is if you are talking about the traditional Botswana phaletshe. Seswaa is boiled meat until its very tender and you sort of shred it
This is not how we cook our food.. U tried but I disagree. We don't put bayleaf and all that stuff in the meat
I think what you’re trying to do here is wonderful but I feel like if you’re going to do something like this and attach a whole country/culture to it you need to do extensive research and actually get the ingredients and method right because food is extremely important in some cultures and misrepresentation can be seen as extremely offensive. If you’re putting your own spin on it then please specify so as to not confuse viewers with misinformation.
our maize meal is white not yellow
This putting it in the oven to me is confusing, never seen my mum do that she monitors it for hours adding water (if needed) and stirring it on a timer.. I do the same I was just trying to remind myself as I haven't cooked it for years and it really threw me off… Had to ask my sister and she just laughed and said just the pot you silly person. I guess you get the same result though… I think the pot cooked one is better lols she agrees… I love Seswaa:)
please continue this series! it is such a good idea!
