In sharing the excitement, Disney Africa send us a basket with all the ingredients (except the egg) to make a Quick Corn Bread. In true African spirit, the ingredients included Amasi (Very popular in South Africa: A fermented milk that tastes like cottage cheese or plain yogurt).
I am not familiar with baking with it, but came up with three uses over the past weekend. It works very well with vegetarian dishes!

Quick Corn Bread

Hubby made chakalaka with wors which worked really well with the bread!

I also used the Amasi this weekend to make a curry bean recipe, as well as curry sauce for butternut on Sunday. It worked well in the place of cream or coconut milk!
