📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Incwancwa is a fermented porridge from Eswatini: maize meal is mixed with water and left for several days until sour, then cooked. Refreshingly tangy, it's sweetened with sugar for breakfast and is a favorite in the hot season.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In an Eswatini kitchen in the morning, batter fermented in a clay pot is transferred to a pot, and steaming porridge is poured into bowls.
