    Curry was beautiful but it was a time consuming meal. That said, it madetwobatches so was worth it. Ill have totrythevetkoek again asthey were a bit doughy but that mightbebecause i had to leave them in the fridge after shaping them, also i guessed oil amount and type. Definitely will try again, thank you for the recipe.

  • Really delicious!...

    Submitted by redsonia9@hotmail.com on 1. April 2019 - 19:30.

    Really delicious!
    I made it with diced beef as I didn’t have lamb, and I also added a couple of carrots, only half the water(actually red wine) for a thicker sauce, and also served it with rice so it went a lot further.

  • What a great recipe I’ll be using this one...

    Submitted by Reumone on 9. July 2018 - 16:18.

    What a great recipe I’ll be using this one again, it’s a nice batch my thermi bowl was nearly to the max line my variations are:-

    diced a small leg of lamb

    I didn’t use potatoes but when it was time to put them in I tipped in a tin of baked beans

    Instead of ground cardamom I threw in 8-10 cardamom pods

    I used the family curry mix which is quite hot so I skipped the chilli powder

    Instead of raw sugar and chutney I sweetened with 1-2 tablespoons of apricot jam (the baked beans sweetens a bit too)

    Thank you for this awesome recipe! I skipped the vetkoeks and made a couple of small loaves of bread for bunny chow. Also reduced the curry powder to 1tbsp and chilli powder to 1tsp, had a bite to it but could still taste the sweetness of Mrs Balls. Very delicious!

    Submitted by sonlou on 26. August 2014 - 21:24.

    Highly recommend this one! Beautiful flavour, enjoyed by all in this family. I prepared the Vetkoek first, then whilst it was proving made the curry. Used ground ginger as I had no fresh, a chutney we already had, and reduced the water to 50g. On our favourite list now, thanks for the recipe.

    Awesome awesome awesome!

    Thank you so much for posting this recipe. Made 4 batches this weekend for a birthday party! Lamb curry served as bunny chow!

    I steamed the potatoes in the basket first before starting the recipe.

    I only used halve the amount of chilli powder and left out all the water to make it thicker.

    Wasca hit, thank you for posting your recipe!  Next I want to try your milk tart!
