Heritage Day treat
It is Heritage Day on Monday, September 24 and for many South Africans that means having a braai.
However, why not delve into other culinary heritages on this public holiday?
If the weather isn’t great to braai, or you prefer not to stand outside in the smoke, then try this recipe from Staffords for its take on Cape Malay chicken curry. It serves between four and six people.
