Bobotie
"Another traditional South African dish, derived from the spicy cuisine of Malay slaves brought to the Cape of Good Hope by Dutch colonialists.
Do not be put off by the list of ingredients, preparation is really quite simple and not at all time-consuming. The end result is well worth the effort."

I was pleased with how well this recipe turned out. Will certainly make it again and again. -
I had never made this before so I stuck to the recipe. My South African husband said it was the best bobotie he had ever eaten. Will definitely make it again! -
This was excellent!!! I didn't have any curry powder so I did a mix about 8 of the spices listed in the Zaar kitchen dictionnary. Its easy to put together and it tastes delicious! Thanks for this recipe...I'll definitely make it again!

Born and bred and live in South Africa. Love food and cooking (doesn't everyone here?) and sports and nature. Less fond of people (unless I know them very well). Absolutely hate pretense and political correctness - as unsavoury and false as commercial baloney.
