The one danger when making traditional Greek yoghurt at home is a leaking gourd. A leaky gourd not only means avoidable loss of liquid pearl – deliciously sour traditional Greek gourd or Maziwa Mala as we Kenyans love to call it – but also leads to poor quality product. Thankfully, this one trick for a leaking gourd fix that I learned from my grandma ensures endless supply of this beloved delicacy. Maziwa mala can be enjoyed by itself, with ugali or even great when making mandazi, pancakes and cakes
