Chakalaka is very “South African”. Chakalaka is served as a sauce or as a relish and often as a cold salad with other greens.

45 ml oil
1 onion, grated
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 green pepper, chopped
3 green chillies, deseeded and chopped
10 ml curry powder
3 medium carrots, grated
1 medium cauliflower or broccoli, divided into florets
1 x 410 g can baked beans in tomato sauce
salt and pepper to taste

Heat oil and sauté onions, garlic, ginger and green pepper with the chillies and curry powder for five minutes.
Add the carrots and cauliflower.
Cook gently for about 15 minutes, or until all vegetables are cooked.
Add beans and seasoning, heat through and allow to cool.Serve cold.

sounds very familiar, not the name , but the ingredients!

over here we call it "msa'aa" which is Lebanese slang for cold (its served cold) we also add to it roasted eggplant and some hommos (chick peas) yummm oh and minus the curry

it looks exactly the same!
