Bobotie (South African Meatloaf) image

Not your regular meatloaf! This sweet and savory loaf is enhanced with the textures of raisins and almonds and the spiciness of curry. Pleasantly different. If using high quality curry, use 1 1/2 tablespoons; most store bought curries are not as flavorful so use more. If looking for more sweetness, try adding apricot preserves or a fruit chutney.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bobotie came out very dry compared to others I've had. Not sure what went wrong.

Really flavorful and easy to make. However, I thought the topping was a little bit too sweet for my taste so I added a bit of extra lemon juice to balance it out.
