Ingredients: 600 g minced beef; 1 onion, finely sliced; 1-2 fresh chillies (or 1 tsp chilli flakes), sliced; 2 tbsp apricot jam; 2 tbsp medium curry powder; 1 tsp ground turmeric; 2 bay leaves; 100 g raisins; 50 g flaked almonds; 2 slices white bread, crusts off; 150 ml milk; 2 eggs, beaten; 1 tbsp butter; Salt and pepper; To serve: yellow rice (with turmeric and raisins), sambal, banana slices

Cape Town's culinary soul, brought over by Malay and Indonesian cooks centuries ago: mildly curried minced beef baked under a golden savoury custard of egg and milk, studded with raisins, almonds and bay leaves, with sliced onion and chilli soaked through the meat. Sweet, savoury and gently spiced at once, it should arrive at the table with the custard just set and slightly bronzed. Serve it over yellow rice with sambal and banana slices — the clash of chutney-hot sambal against mild curry custard is the whole point.
