Ingredients

  • •2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • •1 large onion, diced
  • •2 cloves garlic, minced
  • •500g ground beef
  • •2 tablespoons curry powder
  • •1 tablespoon turmeric
  • •2 slices bread, soaked in milk
  • •1/4 cup raisins
  • •2 tablespoons chutney
  • •1 teaspoon salt
  • •2 eggs
  • •1 cup milk

Directions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. 2Heat oil in a large skillet and sauté onion and garlic until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. 3Add ground beef and brown, breaking it up as it cooks, about 5 minutes.
  4. 4Stir in curry powder, turmeric, soaked bread, raisins, chutney, and salt; simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. 5Transfer mixture to a baking dish and spread evenly.
  6. 6Whisk together eggs and milk, then pour over the meat mixture.
  7. 7Bake for 20-25 minutes until the egg topping is set and golden.

💡 Bobotie's egg topping should be just set, not deeply browned; overbaking can make the custard layer rubbery.
