The story
Rooted in the fishing villages along Lake Malawi, Chambo (endemic Oreochromis tilapia) forms the core of Malawian identity. The fish is traditionally seasoned with curry powder, pan-fried until crackling, and presented with stiff white cornmeal nsima and nkhwani wotendela (pumpkin greens enriched with groundnut powder).
