Hard labour breakfast

We eat rice 3 times a day! Yes. But each household has a particular way of working around that dish. My breakfast today consisted of a cup of coffee, a kind of cake made of rice and coconut called mokary or mofogasy and I had it with sun dried litchis. I did not make the mofogasy but you can check on the net ways of making it. Over here, so many people can make it so I let others do their work. I prepared the litchis in December when they were in abundance. It is really like bread and jam in the western world except that the bread is made of organic rice flower and the jam equivalence is the dried litchis.


This could be considered as an extra slow cooking food. It took 48hours to make the mofogasy and one month to make the sun dried litchis. The result was a very filing breakfast but that was what I needed today since I had to walk 5 hours through hectares of land to look for new ways of growing food! If you are interested in making your own mofogasy, you can check this video here.

    1. Hi Megha! Thanks for that. Well, zen food for me is all food we eat that doesn't stress you out because you know everything that goes into what you eat. Food you plant, food you cook, food you know names of. Then these food I have been eating for all my life, I have been sick 2 times only in my entire life and that had nothing to do with food so I thought I would share if it can help people out there! Welcome!
