Durban butter chicken with samosas, carrot sambal, pol roti rice and a chakalaka bean salad. Good fun to make but I would say the samosas do take a bit of time! Make in advance of the curry!

Easter Curry treat with the Bunnies! Durban Butter chicken with Coconut Sambol (which is so good), Aubergine with Mirchi blend, South African Samoozas, Spicy Cauliflower and basmati rice. Perfect. :-)

I just made this recipe with paneer. Wow!!!!! Amazing! I have tried many of the recipes on this site and have been greatly impressed. But this is my favourite so far.
