Cooking with Celebs: South African Chefs Siphokazi Mdlankomo & Abigail Mbalo

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Soak the bread in milk until soft, then squeeze out excess milk.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté chopped onion until translucent.

Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.

Mix in curry powder, turmeric, salt, and pepper, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.

Chop the soaked bread and add it to the beef mixture along with chopped apricots and almonds.

Stir in lemon juice and mix thoroughly.

Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and smooth the top.

Beat the egg with the reserved milk and pour it over the meat mixture.

Place bay leaves on top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, until set and golden.

Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Serve warm with yellow rice and chutney.
