    Add the meat, tomatoes, sugar, water & chutney & cook for a further 25 mins /100 deg / counter-clockwise operation speed 2


    Add pre-cooked potatoes & cook for a further 5 mins / 100 deg / counter-clockwise operation speed 2  (Only if necessary add a little more water - about 20g)


    Allow to rest for at least 5 mins after cooking.


    Chop us some fresh coriander leaves & stir in just before serving

  2. Method - Vetkoek
  3. Add all the ingredients into the TM


    Combine for 5 secs / speed 6


    Knead dough mode for 1 min / Closed lid


    Allow to proof in your Thermomat for at least 15 mins


    Divide into 8 pieces and roll into round buns


    Allow to continue prooving until they're big enough to start deep frying (about 20 - 30 mins)


    Heat your oil (put a tiny piece in to make sure it's ready but make sure it's not too hot)


    Deep fry until golden brown.  Place on a rack with kitchen towel for excess oil.  (By this time your kitchen is smelling like fresh doughnuts Smile


    When cool enough, cut in half (without going right through to the other side)


    Stuff with your lamb curry & enjoy!

Tip

Vetkoek are best eaten as soon as they come out the fryer.

If you don't feel like the lamb curry - they are delicious with 

*  Mince & fresh salad

*  Cheese & syrup or jam

    Curry was beautiful but it was a time consuming meal. That said, it madetwobatches so was worth it. Ill have totrythevetkoek again asthey were a bit doughy but that mightbebecause i had to leave them in the fridge after shaping them, also i guessed oil amount and type. Definitely will try again, thank you for the recipe.

    Really delicious!
    I made it with diced beef as I didn’t have lamb, and I also added a couple of carrots, only half the water(actually red wine) for a thicker sauce, and also served it with rice so it went a lot further.

    What a great recipe I’ll be using this one again, it’s a nice batch my thermi bowl was nearly to the max line my variations are:-

    diced a small leg of lamb

    I didn’t use potatoes but when it was time to put them in I tipped in a tin of baked beans

    Instead of ground cardamom I threw in 8-10 cardamom pods

    I used the family curry mix which is quite hot so I skipped the chilli powder

    Instead of raw sugar and chutney I sweetened with 1-2 tablespoons of apricot jam (the baked beans sweetens a bit too)

    Great Curry - Sweet and Hot , I just made the curry to go with rotis, was very easy and fast, husband enjoyed it and he is difficult to please, used the nice parts of forequarter chops for the recipe which made it very cheap and the meat came out perfect, the one lot made a whole thermoserver full of curry so we are fed for a couple of days now tmrc_emoticons.) Thank you

    Thank you for this awesome recipe! I skipped the vetkoeks and made a couple of small loaves of bread for bunny chow. Also reduced the curry powder to 1tbsp and chilli powder to 1tsp, had a bite to it but could still taste the sweetness of Mrs Balls. Very delicious!
