My son was an exchange student in Zimbabwe. Since then, I've been on the look-out for authentic Zimbabwean recipes. This comes from A Taste of Africa. I no longer have the book, but if I run into the Sadza recipe, I'll post that too! NOTE: you may want to go easy on the curry powder. You can always add more later!
