How to cook Sadza (A Beginner's Guide)

- Hi everyone. Welcome to my channel. My name is Freda, creator of this channel.
In this video, you will learn how to cook sadza, as a beginner's guide. The first time I cooked sadza was at university, in Australia when I started dating my Zimbabwean boyfriend, who is now my husband. He taught me how to cook sadza. He taught me how to cook muriwo unedovi (nutty greens) with cabbage and peanut butter. And I love cooking. But sadza was quite a learning curve. I don't know why the experience is so daunting, but it is for a beginner.
Over the years I have learned to make it in a way that works for me. So this video is great for people who may not necessarily be Shona, or come from Zimbabwe, but still have a reason to want to cook this dish. So whether you are married to a Zimbabwean and want to surprise your partner, or you are Zimbabwean and are starting from scratch, or just love watching my TH-cam channel, the good news is we all start somewhere and we all learn from others. So please accept this gift from me to the world.
And for a complete beginner and new person to African food, you probably want to know what to eat with sadza, now that you know how to make it. Check out how to make a leafy, beefy stew which I learned about from my sister in law, Highfields stew • Leafy Beefy "Highfield...
At the end of the video, there are other links and info cards to many other stews to try. And of course muriwo unedovi (nutty greens).

Sawubona/Mhoro from NY my son learned to make this on our visit to South Africa taught to him by my Zimbabwean friend I loved it with Braa Peri Peri Chicken
Thanks for Video
Yes yes, we call it Kwataring back home!😂😂😂💖🔥
Are you teasing me lol 🤣🤣🤣. I now know a full sentence in cooking language. Riri ku kwata
Yes, kukwata. Closest word I can think of is spattering, as in "be careful at this stage, some upward spattering will occur".
Kwataring🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥😭yes ma’am
🤣🤣🤣
If you mix it with a hand whisk.. you don't get lumps.. use the whisk to start and as it starts to cook switch to a spoon or spatula..
Thank you for that video. I am making sadza tonight. Can't wait.
you are more than welcome. I wish we had better equipment back then for higher quality.
Hi I’m about to try it out for my family i hope it goes well
My Zimbabwean mum will be happy if I make this so thank you
You are welcome. They will appreciate it.

Hey thanks. I am sure it will be appreciated. Happy "kwataring"
After many failed attempts at making sadza using other instructions, your video helped me to make my first successful pot. Thank you, from here in Australia!
I'd love to see more of your recipes :)
Thank you. We took a few years out raising our young family. We are back now. Please help us spread the word 😘
It’s awesome to see you keeping these up to this day! Inspirational ☺️

Thanks so much for your video! Last time I cooked sadza it was a tad too dry and your video helped remind me of the steps. Much love 💜
So glad it helped
Wow if you are not from Zimbabwe that was an impressive video, forgive me please.
It's just that some of my fellow Zimbabwean "forget " their shona or Ndebele the moment they arrive at Gatwick or Heathrow
Sure. I am not from Zimbabwe but my husband is. I am Ghanaian

Hi! Thank you for your kind comment. I am glad it has made a difference.
Bye🖐️😭 she said Kwataring😂😂
We enjoyed your video...
LifeStyleVideos.com many thanks.
Ha mainini , you did well ! Kwataring is what makes me dislike sadza because i keep geting burnt!
Oh my, you used my invented Shonglish 🙈🙈🙈. I think what helps is to reduce the temperature to low and allow the gentle heat to steam it through, but you will always get a caked bottom. Thank you 😘
Hi there! I am glad. Don't worry, my dad likes to give instructions, pointers and corrections though I wonder when he last cooked sadza, bless him.
magic,absolute...
I love this video and thank you for this sisi
Thank you so much 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you very much
Thanks for that dear
Thank you very much, this was helpful
You are welcome 😘😘
Thank you sha are you in UK?
Not any longer. I am in Nigeria now
In East Africa we mix it just the way west Africans do
That is so good to know. My moms tribe is suspected to have originated in or passed through East Africa some 500 to 1000 years ago 😍😍😍
@@Myburntorange woooww haha that’s awesome…some 500 to 1000 years ago just wooowww …🥰
thank you Mama for the lesson!! Quataring loool, is that not when someone come to eat food at your place without an invite?
Lol I see what you did there with my squattering sadza. Thanks for the humour. It is kind
first time nezuro, lets just say i didnt burnt the house... thanks!!
Wonderful 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you for kwataring :) honestly your video was great
😁😁🥰🥰🙈🙈😘😘😘😘
Thank you for this!
You are most welcome!
I am supposed to cook a meal for 3 people today and I have no clue how I am going to do it
Awwwww. Was it sadza? Something like this goes really well with a simple meat stew and some sautéed veggies like cabbage, spinach or kale. Or even a steak, grilled/fried chicken, simple tomato onion gravy and those sautéed veggies 🥹🥹
I love this
Thank you ❤
It was soo clear and concise I loved it! May I have a roasted potatoes one pretty please!
@@zoek2136 you got it. Will have something delectable in our upcoming Christmas kitchen series ❤❤
What is the name of the stick that u are using to mix
Oh no. I have no idea of the traditional Shona or other name but will soon find out
Thank you very much for teaching us. One question, should we not turn down the heat, for kwattaring? I have burnt my first attempt...
Oh yes you should turn it town. I think I must have called it simmering. If not, apologies. Definitely turn it down, and you can leave it on low until served so it doesn't get hard
Thank you.
Thank you! Hope it turns out good.
🥰🥰😘😘
My Burnt Orange our tummies are all shining
@@ethellbr awww this is the best 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I love sadza way more than fufu im Zimbabwean and Scottish but I look more scottish a
Haha where did you get fufu?
@@Myburntorange i got it from this place round my ends bintas cuisine since i wanted to find some food from my friends culture
You are welcome. By the way m not a woman. Just another male who likes to cook sadza.
Hmmm hakusi kumona sadza uku
Love the accent
Thank you ❤. Its an everything accent
You have a beautiful smile
You are very kind. Thank you
👍
Do you have a recipe for the relish?
Ho Jonathan. Try this if you like greens th-cam.com/video/gSOONZajJ8Q/w-d-xo.html
What is the name of the powder?
Hi it is corn meal. Comes in different consistencies from fine cornmeal like masa, used for tortillas to coarse corn meal. Sometimes it is white, sometimes it is yellow. When we absolutely cannot find it we use polenta, which is yellow most times
Ive been doing wrong all these years. Gotta let mine kwatta for longer. 😂.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
kwataring isn't the word mama, the people who taught you mixed shona with what may be english lol there are a lot of words like that one where it is almost not even shona anymore but it is just "kukwata" as in "sadza riri kukwata" meaning the sadza is boiling which is the "porridge is boiling" since it won't be sadza yet.
My darling sister I am guilty of making the word up myself 😂😂😂
@@Myburntorange okay I see and you may be surprised that there are zimbabweans that use that word actually
@@noughlymazhowu8850 we Africans need to encourage the learning of our languages
🙏
no problem Liberated :-)
yummy
heat levels ?
Dwayne Irvingson medium/ low medium
Indeed thanks to Chris. Once the water has boiled, the mixture bubbling, reduce to a simmer. You can use low to medium heat. You can also keep it steaming at the lowest heat until you are ready to serve, it keeps the sadza soft.
Oh my word sekuru!!!!!!!!! I assumed comfort was a woman! My sincerest apologies. Thanks again. Cooking is a wonderful experience.
Not at all Rebecca. Your secret is safe with me ;)
Hey guys! Did you know something similar to sadza is made from cassava roots in other countries? Check it out here th-cam.com/video/qbzSW-VY_-4/w-d-xo.html
Kenge!
its kwataring. riri kukwata. Simmering-kushinyira but nice amai
😂🤣😂 it called simmer 😂🤣😂
Thank you darkstar0072007 :)
)) I dont think she's Zimbabwean:) Great video though...
You are right. I am not Zimbabwean 😘
Nope sorry but you have made a mess of that, I have been making it since i was 13 ....way to do it : put cold water in pot turn heat on high but add meal before it gets warm...keep mixing until the meal has started to become porridge and then turn heat as low as possible....leave it to steam for about 45 minute, stirring every 10-15 minutes.....if the porridge is too runny just remove the lid and cook for enough time to remove some of the water via steam and it will become stiff keep stirring every 5 minutes and you will be able to , once it has cooled pick pieces up with your finger, do not add more meal while cooking as then you will need to steam for another 45 minutes.
Thank you Andy Andy. I will make another video using your method 😁😁. I really appreciate your comment.
How much cold water, how much corn meal?
Only Zimbabweans make good pap.
I thought they made sadza 😆😆😆
@@Myburntorange yes...its sadza. Pap sucks
Its hupfu not upfu are you shona hadzi its kwataringi kkkkkkkkkkk zvakaoma.
No Kudzai. I am Ghanaian
I've never heard SUCH vague instructions!
Oh dear. Which part is vague? How can we help you? 😁
Thank you
