You could say that these days I am slightly obsessed with coconut milk. I already loved coconut oil for a variety of things. I love coconut milk rice with ginger so I decided to try it with sadza.
Before I go on, as a warning, I would not make this sadza for my inlaws. This sadza tastes really really good but it is not the traditional taste that people are used to and I am sure that some people will be offended by it. Sounds petty but believe me, to some it is like religion.
The method I used is the same for what I use when making sadza, the only difference is the coconut milk. The texture is slightly crumbly but ok. Adding a pinch of salt would even out the sweetness of the coconut milk.
I love all kinds of mushroom, largely because they cook very fast. The taste of mushrooms is unlike anything you will ever taste. I like them with very little added to them.
This is one of my go to meals because I usually have all the ingredients and I have a meal in under twenty minutes.
