Sauce - "Not tooo Hot" CAPE CURRY - Ukuva iAfrica
Cape Curry (or Cape Malay*) Sauce is the spice-soul of the Cape in a base of sweet vegetables: carrots and sweet potatoes - with ginger, coriander, turmeric, cumin, chilli, cayenne, black pepper, paprika, fennel, cinnamon and clove.
It takes a lot of time (and ingredients!) to make a Cape Curry sauce... and then it always tastes better the next day (spiced sauces need time to grow into being their best!).
Cape Curry is delicious as a table sauce on grilled chicken or lamb and on butternut, sweet potatoes (fried with a little ginger), baked onion and potato, and egg dishes with rice (like Biryani) or egg salad with a bit of mayonnaise. It is also stunning on white fish.
Cape Curry Sauce is mild - made for family meals; for families who like things hotter, serve a fresh, chopped chilli (and lime) sambal on the side. The base of Cape Malay is so well made, there is room for lots more heat!
