Ibhobola, also known as Muboora, Ugu Leaves, Chibwabwa, Krobonko, or Pumpkin leaves, is a vegetable that is widely consumed in Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Zambia, and Ghana. In this video, our guest umama uMrs H. Gasela shows us how this vegetable is cooked the traditional way using fresh cream (Ulaza) and an added ingredient classified under the name of Iqobela. We also talk about the importance of consuming traditional foods for the current generation.

I love this vegetable, in Botswana we cook it with groundnuts powder, we call it idhobi.

[@MagrizaMadeMeCook]

Hie Revonia. Thank you for watching. We once experienced that dish in Botswana. Very delicious.

[@shamisomakuvaro9393]

In Zim we use peanut butter l think you are from the North cuz Batswana doesnt know that type of relish l have some friends took them to Zim they were surprised.

I like traditional foods. Doesn’t cause diabetes or high blood pressure. The way mama broke it down for us ngamafutha, it is true. Amafutha angakhona is vegetable oil on top of that. The most unhealthy oil that has been directly linked to chronic diseases. It’s good to go back to basics.

[@nothandondlovuraw7388]

Something I noticed with traditional foods they taste very different when cooked over fire in cast iron pots, very very different and more tasty. Just by simmering with salt only the fire itself adds a lot of flavour and concentrates some flavors

[@MagrizaMadeMeCook]

Ngapha there's a divide one uthanda ibhobola omunye ulude 😀. Please consider doing short videos they reach a wider audience quicker and might get you to the 1000 subs mark - Maybe the first 20secs and funnel them back to the longer video.

Nginombuzo bakithi is it “ulaza” loba “umlaza.” Ngicela ukucaciselwa khonapho!

[@MagrizaMadeMeCook]

Konke kukhona. Ulaza ngamafutha esiwasebenzisa nxa kuphekwa ibhobola (fresh cream) while Umlaza (whey) is the water that is removed nxa sokuhlukaniswa amanzi lawa lamasi
