Variations:
The original chakalaka was probably a simple dish of onions, tomatoes and a little curry powder. These days, every South African has his or her own favorite recipe, and many are quite elaborate.

Baked beans are not necessary, but are very common. They also make it a full meal when paired with pap.

Other possible additions include minced fresh ginger (added with the onions), grated carrots, shredded cabbage or chopped cauliflower (added after the tomatoes and simmered until cooked) and chopped cilantro (stirred in at the end.

AuthorNote; Born in the townships of South Africa, chakalaka is a simple, spicy dish of onions, tomatoes and often beans. It has been a staple for generations of black South Africans, and is a required condiment at South African braais, or barbecues. Chakalaka can be served hot or cold, over mealie pap, with slices of bread, or as a condiment for grilled [Favorites]. And what a fun name!
