👨‍🍳 Directions (Step-by-Step Method)

1. Brown the meat

Heat oil in a potjie pot or heavy casserole. Season meat and brown well on all sides (8–10 minutes). Remove and set aside.

2. Temper the spices

Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds to the pot and allow them to sizzle.

3. Build the base

Add onions and cook until softened and golden (10 minutes).

4. Add aromatics

Stir in garlic and ginger, cooking for 1–2 minutes.

5. Add spices

Mix in curry powder, turmeric, and garam masala. Cook briefly to release flavour.

6. Layer ingredients

Return meat to the pot. Add tomatoes, stock, potatoes, carrots, and peppers. Do not over-stir — traditional potjie is layered.

7. Add the SoHat twist 🌶️

Stir in 3 tablespoons of SoHat Carrot Chilli, bringing a rich, slightly sweet heat that enhances the slow-cooked flavours.

8. Slow cook

Cover and cook on low heat for 2–2.5 hours, allowing flavours to develop and meat to become tender.

9. Prepare garlic bread

Mix butter, garlic, parsley, and salt. Slice baguette, spread mixture, and bake at 180°C for 10–12 minutes until golden and crisp.

10. Final seasoning

Taste, adjust seasoning, and garnish with fresh herbs.
