Nthochi Bread

Malawi

What we know so far

Nthochi is the Chichewa word for banana, and nthochi bread is Malawi's banana loaf: ripe bananas beaten into a plain batter of flour, sugar, butter or margarine, egg and milk, baked slowly in a loaf tin and sliced for tea. It is a tea-room and mission-kitchen bake that became a Malawian standard, made with the small sweet lakeshore bananas, and it turns up in Peace Corps and church cookbooks as the Malawi recipe. Some cooks add nutmeg, coriander or vanilla; most do not.
