Spicy South African stew with Mutton or Lamb , tomatoes, and warm Durban Masala.
Oh my favourite dish. Yes that’s right, a curry is my favorite. It didn’t start out that way though. My Dad used to make really hot Durban mutton curry’s. The type that would take the skin off the roof of your mouth and that really put me off a curry. As I grew older though and my Dad’s love of heat simmered down, that is when my love of a good curry was reborn.
Let me get one thing straight though, I wasn’t born in Durban and I didn’t even spend much time in Durban except for visiting my Grandparents in Margate about 2 hours out from Durban. My love for curry started with my Gran and Dad’s obsession with the dish and I think it grew from there. I remember every trip around Christmas time with us scouring the Indian spice shops for the freshest spices and the best masala we could find so we could stock up.
