SOUTH AFRICAN CURRY AND RICE

South african curry and rice

A comforting, old school South African Curry and Rice recipe! Most definitely the ultimate South African comfort food. The sort of Curry and Rice you would find at the local church bazaar, vessels filled to the rim, topped with fruity Chutney and a tablespoon of coconut. Spread out on tiny tables and accompanied by old smiling ladies with shiny cheeks and dirty aprons.
