Mutakura

Mutakura is a nutritious dish made from peanuts (Nzungu), maize (Chibage), bambara nuts (Nyimo), cow peas (Nyemba), and sugar beans. If only peanuts and maize are used, it is known as Mangai, which is similar to South Africa's Umngqusho. The ingredients are simple, but they combine to make a delicious dish.

Mutakura contains both carbohydrates and proteins, making it a highly nutritious meal. It is made by soaking the ingredients overnight, then combining them and boiling them for several hours, or until soft. It's a versatile dish because Zimbabweans eat it for breakfast with a cup of tea, for lunch or dinner, with or without meat.
