Sasotie Flavoured Fruit & Vegetable
Curry
This Sosatie flavoured fruit curry has delicious flavours and smells from the Sunshine Coast's locally made Afrika Sasotie Aromatic Curry with Apricots sauce (you can buy online or create your own Sosatie sauce) and uses fresh local pineapple, and is served with a wholegrain/wild rice and local Essential Grain Crusty Sour Dough Bread. The fruity flavour and being a non-hot curry makes this a great family dish and popular with kids and guests. The smells while it cooks alone will get the whole house excited about dinner.
Perfect for a chilli day.

• A deep frying pan/pot suitable for cooking the curry in
Method
• Combine the wholegrain and wild rice. Cook together according to packet instructions but using the vegetable stock in place of water, adding additional water as needed. Keep warm or time it so rice is warm when serving the curry.

• Bring to the boil and then simmer on a medium low heat.
• Whisk the tapioca flour in an equal amount of cold water.
• Add in the tapioca flour to thicken the sauce.
• Stir occasionally and add extra water to the whole dish as needed.
• When all vegetables are cooked add in the drained apricots from the tin, stir through 2 minutes.
• Serve alongside the rice and with slices of fresh crusty essential tastes bread and optionally a dollop of Maleny Dairies natural yoghurt.
Notes
• This dish smells amazing when it is cooking, great for entertaining and dinner parties or to come home too!
• The fresh pineapple and apricots in this really give a sweet and tasty twist on curry and make it very palatable to children and even non curry fans.
• Tastes even better the second day, so great for leftover lunches.
• Add fresh, hot red chilli’s to give it some heat.
• Alternatively serve with pappadams.
Toddler Tips
• The fruity flavour in the curry and the flavoured rice make this a popular dish with young kids too.
• Leave out all chilli.

Now this looks like something I might convince my hubby to eat! Yum! Going to pin it so I can add the ingredients to my shopping list! One question though, is there an alternative to the curry sauce? Not sure it's available in NZ.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much AMummys Life!!
DeleteYou could try and make the sauce yourself or something similar? Or they might already have a stockist in New Zealand? Here is their website :)
