South African Boboti and Yellow Rice
This tasty curry mince is one of my favourite oven meals. Not only does it always taste delicious because it is so well spiced, but also because it makes the best leftovers. We enjoy it for days afters it been made, which makes it a good dish to take on long drives or camp trips because it pairs so well with rice, bread, wraps or a salad.
