🍛Two Iconic South African Curries 🇿🇦
Two of the most famous curries in South African cuisine represent the two port cities — Cape Town on the west coast and Durban on the east. ⚓️
Even their names reflect their origins:
🌶Cape Malay Curry Powder refers to Cape Town’s Malay community,
🔥Durban Curry Masala — to Durban’s Indian community.
The Cape curry is slightly sweeter and milder, while the Durban curry is hotter and more vibrant thanks to the addition of Kashmiri red chili. 🌶
