Bobotie
Cape Malay Bobotie is a traditional South African dish. It is a curried meat loaf with egg topping and has a medley of curry, sweet and sour flavours. Bobotie is typically served with yellow rice which has been cooked with a little turmeric to make it yellow in colour.
Sliced bananas and chutney make a good accompaniment.
