1. 1

   Soak 100 g bread in 200 ml milk. Finely chop 1 onion and fry with 500 g ground beef and 2 tbsp curry powder.

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: Bobotie is South Africa's national dish — spiced minced meat (sweet-savoury, with curry and dried fruits) baked under a golden egg-and-milk custard topping. From Cape Malay heritage. Truly unique.

2. 2

   Mix the soaked bread, raisins/apricots, chutney, almonds and spices (curry, turmeric, allspice) into the minced meat. Transfer to a baking dish. Insert bay leaves.

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: The sweet-savoury mince mixture (curry, dried fruits, chutney) is characteristic. Bay leaves add aroma. The soaked bread keeps it moist. A unique sweet-savoury balance.

3. 3

   Egg topping: whisk 2 eggs with the remaining milk and pour over the meat mixture. Bake at 180 °C for 30–40 minutes until the egg layer is set and golden.

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: Bobotie is served with yellow rice (with turmeric and raisins), chutney and banana — the classic South African combination. The sweet-savoury mince dish with its golden egg topping is truly one of a kind.
