If you\u2019re looking for something warm and tasty on a winter\u2019s night or classic comfort food for any other day of the year, there\u2019s nothing better than a delicious curry mince. It\u2019s extremely versatile and can be served over rice, pasta, or as the perfect filling for your vetkoek recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even better, you can choose to add a little extra kick to it with cayenne pepper or hot curry powder, or you can keep it mild, deeply flavourful, and extremely satisfying. However you choose to enjoy it, you\u2019re sure to love this easy curried mince.<\/p>\n

How to make mince curry<\/h2>\n

Finely diced ingredients is one of the key characteristics of this curry. In order to enjoy multiple flavours in each delicious bite, you need vegetables that are small enough to coexist on one spoon. So most of the effort for this recipe will be based in the prep stages.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of vegetables involved, so it\u2019s best to start chopping well in advance of the time you\u2019re wanting to put the stove on. Depending on your speed and how many of the vegetables you choose to include (as this recipe can be altered according to your preferences), you should budget around half an hour to an hour.<\/p>\n

Once everything is prepared for the pan, it all gets very simple. You can cook the curry comfortably while you make vetkoek to stuff it into. Alternatively, if you\u2019re enjoying this as a mince curry and rice, bring out the wine, because this will be a relaxed cooking experience.<\/p>\n

Where does mince curry come from?<\/h2>\n

\"curry<\/p>\n

Ah the eternal question: who invented it? It\u2019s unclear if anyone can claim this recipe as their own. After all, it is undoubtedly a recipe that developed from a number of different influences.<\/p>\n

The most likely origin for this recipe is Durban. Durban has been home to many Indian immigrants from as early as the 1800s, making South Africa the country with the second-highest population of Indians<\/a>, after India. They likely had the fantastic idea of sprinkling curry powder into this mix of meat and veggies.<\/p>\n

Wherever it comes from, we\u2019re thankful that it\u2019s here now.<\/p>\n

Mince curry recipe<\/h2>\n

As the name of this recipe suggests, this is a meat-heavy meal. Still, I am the biggest fan of all sorts of vegetables and I always try to include as many varieties in each and every meal that I can. You\u2019ll notice that in our other recipes, like our chicken potjie recipe<\/a> and our Greek stuffed peppers<\/a>. Even this one has a multitude of colourful veggies. However, meat is king for this particular recipe.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll want the accompanying vegetables to be a tasty backdrop to the curry mince, to improve the taste and texture and bulk things up, while not overtaking the flavourful mince. If you\u2019d like, you can use a mixed mince instead of lean beef, so that it\u2019s more budget-friendly. The extra fat<\/a> will also make it that extra bit flavourful.<\/p>\n

This recipe should also be relatively dry. You don\u2019t want it to be too saucy, as it then won\u2019t stuff into the vetkoek nicely. If you\u2019re having it on rice and like to drench it with flavourful sauce, go ahead and add some extra water!<\/p>\n
