Cape Malay Curry image

This curry is traditionally South African, and comes from the Malay community in the Western Cape. It's sweet, fruity, spicy, and not too hot. It reminds me of home every time I eat it. I find that curries are always made to taste for me. I always adjust recipes, change quantities, taste the mix and add the notes I think it's missing. So, the quantities should not be taken as gospel.

Time 50m

Yield 4 portions, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

chicken or lamb
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon ginger paste
1 tomatoes, peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional)
2 -4 tablespoons garam masala paste, depending on desired heat (I use Parak's)
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 cup chutney (Ideally, you want to use Mrs Balls plain chutney, which is THE South African brand and unfortunately)
1/4 cup apricot jam
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon cinnamon
water
salt

Steps:

  • Saute onion in oil until soft and golden.
  • Add garlic and ginger and saute for a minute.
  • Deglaze pot with a little water.
  • Add tomato, red wine vinegar, tomato paste, chutney, apricot jam, turmeric and cinnamon.
  • Add chicken to mixture, and pour in enough water to cover the chicken.
  • OPTIONAL: You can add chopped and peeled potatoes to the curry at this stage. They're delicious this way, and mean you don't have to cook rice!
  • Simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until chicken is done.
  • TASTE MIXTURE BEFORE SERVING AND MAKE ADJUSTMENTS. If it's too sweet, add more vinegar and salt. If it's too acidic, add sugar. If it's not hot enough, add more curry paste. Essentially, there's no one recipe that will make a curry to please everyone, so you have to taste and add.

This curry is a waste of time and ingredients. It's bland, watery, and completely lacking in flavor.

I would not recommend this curry. I found the flavors to be very bland and unappetizing.

This curry is okay. It's not the best curry I've ever had, but it's not bad either. I think it would be a good option for a weeknight meal when you don't have a lot of time to cook.

I wasn't a fan of this curry. I found the flavors to be a bit too overpowering. However, I think it might be a good recipe for people who like their curry very spicy.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of curry, but I'm so glad I did! This curry is amazing. The flavors are so well-balanced and the chicken is so tender. I will definitely be making this again.

I love the combination of sweet and savory in this curry. The apricots and raisins add a nice touch of sweetness, while the spices give it a nice kick. I also appreciate that this recipe is relatively easy to make.

This Cape Malay curry is a delightful blend of spices and flavors. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is rich and aromatic. I served it with rice and a side of vegetables, and it was a hit with my family.
