Hmm. SS - what finished curry was it? Black cardamon is very strong. I'm wondering what finished dish used this?

Well I was racking my brains at the time of writing to recall, but I just couldn't, it was in my earliest days of curry eating.

Interestingly though, in those days I regularly got a few cardamoms, or cloves,or chunks of casia bark in the curries. Not any more though.

Hmmmm, reminds of me when I was desperate for a curry in South Africa and ended up trying a "Bunny Chow" (a South African chicken curry in a hollowed out loaf of bread) from a fast food shop called "The Curry Cabin".  Trouble, for me, was that the chicken was, what I could only describe as, jiblets...GROSS!  :-\



What did you make of curry in south africa CA? I go there every few years as i'm half SA. Most recently i went to cape town in november and tried a couple of curries. They're very keen on fruit and mrs h.s balls chutney with everything so it was no surprise the curry we ate in a little pakistani restaurant tasted of chutney. It was sweeter than BIR and had pretty much no spice taste. It was a small / quiet enough place to make me question whether they used a base sauce at all.

Apricots and raisons crop up a lot in the curries too. Basically a lot of the influence is from the 'cape coloureds' who came from malaysia. There are now quite a few muslims but i'm not sure how strong their influence has been yet.

Did you try boboetie?

I know, they're beautiful things! Such a different taste to any other spice. It reminds me of the smell of fresh dark tobacco or leather.
