This channel is all about the iconic Durban Curry, a rich aromatic curry which developed its own unique and distinctive characteristics over time in isolation away from the Motherland (India) — the deep fiery red color, the generous use of curry leaves and soft cooking potatoes, the exuberant use of oil, many debate to the customary oil slick fondly. Each family has their own secret blend of spices that make up their families masala, whether blended at home or bought, the distinctive flavour of the Durban masala has no equal. Whether eaten with rice, roti or as a bunny chow, there is simply no other food that unites all the cultures of South Africa with as much culinary delight.
I believe that there are a few main factors that make a Durban curry unique, and if followed correctly using the right ingredients (Durban Masala, curry leaves, whole and ground spices, ginger and garlic) and simple method, will give amazing results to anyone who takes the time to master the technique. - DCG
