SOUTH AFRICAN CHICKEN CURRY



South African Chicken Curry image

I learned how to make curry from a very good South African friend. Over time I have changed it up a bit to suit my taste. My SA friends actually love this when I make it. I serve it with curried daal and basmati rice. Don't forget to add chutney and sambals! Enjoy!

AFRICAN CHICKEN CURRY

This is an African (Mozambique) curry that can be done with chicken, shrimp, or crab. Goes well with tomato chutney and onion hot sauce. For shrimp or crab, use 1 pound." I found it on another site while researching recipes for ZWT 2011 the African tour.

Shared with me by a missionary from Africa. I like this because it is somewhat sweet yet it is also savoury.
