This recipe is interesting. Interestingly though, it should be labeled as

fusion. In Cape Town we have a large Malay. Madras is oc course, India. The

reipe that you have submitted isn't exactly Malay, it is too spicey, hence the

Madras part. Durban, in KwaZulu-Natal has a large Indian population. The

differences in the curries between these two cosmopolitanm cities in South

Africa is marked; Durban curries are hotter and spicier, while Cape curries

reflect the Malaysian influence, are milder and sweater.

 

Thanks for the recipe. I will try and get you a typical Cape Malay curry ecipe

and post it here for you to see, cook and enjoy
