Beef Curry Mince For Vetkoek (Curry Bunny/Bunnies), Oliebollen, or Roti – Best Ever! South African Boerekos - Suitable for Children.


You won’t want another recipe for curry mince after this one!😉

This is the recipe we all grew up on in South Africa and is well-loved by both adults and children – It was the first curry we all started out with as children and is a lovely mild curry that even adults who love hot curries still hark back to in childhood nostalgia! It may be served with roti, vetkoek or simply over fluffy white steamed rice or with sambal on the side. If you want to turn up the heat😉 you may add a whole jalapeno or chili to your food processor together with onions or add it finely chopped to your saucepan together with your onions – Allow it to cook in for strength to develop and intensify. Never add more chilies until its heat has cooked through or you might end up with too much heat as chili needs a while to cook in before its heat really starts coming through.




Adding curry leaves will enhance your curry😉

If you have a food processor you may add your chopped ginger together with whole garlic cloves and roughly chopped onions.
You may use this curry mince to make a bobotie which is also lovely to serve to children who have not yet developed a taste for stronger curries.
