Tip
Serve Bobotie with yellow rice, apricot chutney and a fresh green salad
Pronounced Bab-oo-tee and sometimes spelled Babotie or Bobotjie, this traditional South African dish was adapted from the Indonesian dish ‘Bobotok‘ and introduced by the Dutch. It was quickly embraced by the Cape Malay community and has been cooked there ever since.

I would add only a pinch of cumin. I found it very overpowering.
A good version
Bobotie has traditionally been made with lamb mince, but beef mince is more commonly used to-day. A mixture of beef and lamb is also nice. This dish can easily be halved for smaller families. It freezes well.
i used 10 mlTikka curry paste from the Indian cookbook, instead of curry powder. This gives a very nice flavour. I recommend adding grated lemon peel of one lemon.
If you do not want your mince texture too fine, it is much better to brown the plain meat on your stove, then add all the other ingredients made in the thermomix according to the recipe.
The spelling of "bobotie" is correct and is never spelled "bobotjie", as suggested in the introduction!
A favourite in our house. I serve with rice with tumeric in the water when cooking and some extra sultanas. Adding some fruit chutney also add some flavour as well.
My family loved the flavour, and I liked having a different mince recipe. I however agree that the texture of the mince was too fine and quite unusual.The custard on top was new and interesting for us. Overall we enjoyed it.
After my success with the melk tart i made this. Epic fail....i cooked it on reverse but it tasted like and had the consistency of sawdust. So disgusting. Really this is not a recipe that translates to the thermomix. Very disapointing sorry.
I found this recipe a little dry in comparison to my traditional one. But, thank you for showing me how to make it in the Thermie.
With all the stopping and starting, my mince chopped too fine. Had it on reverse, but still it went blah.
Thank you for this recipe.I have a Tamil asylum seeker living with us and he loves spicy food made with a bit of curry. This recipe from South Africa will be a little different but will be great. I will make it tomorrow!
Traditionally this top layer of milk and egg is just a very thin layer. You should not need to double the quantity.
suggestion: You can also substitute milk with cream or half milk, half cream (and egg ) for a richer taste.
I would recommend making double the topping layer as one layer wasn't enough. If you are making it for kids perhaps half the spice as well.
