Chimodho





 A personal favorite filled with much nostalgia, this baked delicacy was my grandmother’s specialty. Early morning when we woke up while visiting her in the rural area, gogo’s kitchen would be filled with the sweet aroma of her baking. It is a mixture of flour, a bit of corn flour mixed with sugar, salt, and some butter if the family could afford it.The dough is then placed in a pot (my grandmother’s pot was a black one without a handle) with charcoal beneath it. The bread rises to form a delicious golden crust on top with a huge crack in the middle that we all fought over as children.
