Worked with a South African chef about 20 yrs ago, and he put bobotie on the menu for a few weeks. I loved it, and I believe I still have the recipe. He was adamant that the chutney required had to be a specific brand called Mrs. Balls. It's easily available in the UK, but I don't know about anywhere else.

Proudly South African here and LOVE this dish and your channel.

Bobotie is normally served with begrafnisrys (funeral rice), which is yellow rice with raisins. It is a Cape Malay dish which has been adopted by the Afrikaner community many years ago I doubt whether is can be seen as the national dish. Stywepap en vleis (form mealie porridge and meat) is probably closer as most communities in SA has some version of it

Originally bobotie was made from left over roast meat that had been finely chopped or minced. This is the reason the meat it precooked. The spices are from the strong Malay influence of cooking in the Cape and are more delicate than Indian spice mixes. A lot of fruit was dried in season as a way of preserving it for out of season times. The Cape being a great vine growing area meant a lot of grapes were dried. The addition of fruit to savory dishes is very typical of Cape cooking. Another very common dish was gestoofde perskers, dried peaches that were cooked as a vegetable in winter months.

India does not have a national dish

I lived in Botswana,, (as well as a spell in South Africa), for many years before returning to the UK and while in South Africa, I qualified as a chef and Bobotie is one of the very best dishes from the extremely varied cuisine of South Africa. It is a very worthwhile addition to anyone's list of favourite recipes, so if you have never tried it, give it a go, its worth it and very easy to prepare. If you want something really different, try Seswaa, the national dish of Botswana.

Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Anyone who thinks the Name of Lord Jesus Christ is a joke, boldly mocks and scorns Him or takes pleasure in people who do is in for a big unpleasant surprise on judgement day IF they don’t repent and follow Lord Jesus Christ. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️! Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget! So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen.

Bobotie appears to be a variant of patinam ex lacte, a dish documented by the ancient Roman writer Apicius consisting of layers of cooked meat, pine nuts, and seasoned with pepper, celery seeds and asafoetida. These were cooked until the flavours had blended, when a top layer of egg and milk was added. When the latter had set, the dish was ready to be served. C. Louis Leipoldt, a South African writer and gourmet, wrote that the recipe was known in Europe in the seventeenth century.

Definitely the best South African dish. One of the most asked for dish from my American friends when I cook for them.

You can add slices of banana onto the bobotie before baking. And serve with yellow rice stewed dried peaches.

The mix of ground beef, aromatic seasonings and sultanas immediately reminded me of "pastelitos cubanos", a salty-sweet small meat pie similar to middle-eastern sfihas. Pastelitos are filled with a mixture very similar to the bobotie you made, minus the eggs and the peach chutney. By the way, I love your videos and get a lot of ideas from them for my everyday cooking. I am Brazilian and my husband is Cuban, so our suggestion to you are Brazilian "feijoada" (black bean stew with lots of pork cuts, sausages, bacon, served with white rice, kale, and orange) and Cuban "ropa vieja" (beef cut shredded to after cooking, heavily seasoned with peppers, onions, garlic etc.) or "tamal en cazuela" (similar to a polenta, but made with fresh sweet corn reduced to a paste, cooked with lots of braised pork cuts inside). I would also suggest the Brazilian "galinhada", a delicious chicken & rice dish, but I'm not sure you would be able to get the pequi fruit (Caryocar brasiliense), which is essential to make that dish.

500k!!!!!Congrats Kevin!!!🎂🎂🥳🥳

I’ve never had this in SA. Not South African , but my time makes me think the national dish is whatever is on the braai and a cold beer.

I’m a South African , born and bread , never seen such a dish in my entire life here.

Picking just one dish as South Africa's "national dish" is somewhat of a misrepresentation of the nation, especially if you're choosing Bobotie, one of the most regional "exclusive" dishes in the country. A true 'national dish' for South Africa would be a smorgenbord of culinary delights highlighting the cultural melting pot that is this amazing, beautiful country. That said... good job on making and trying Bobotie. Solid content. Next up, boerewors, biltong, melktert, malva pudding. Oh, and Ultramel Custard... still blows my mind that Ultramel Custard is a uniquely South African thing.

You have to try Mansaaf, the national dish of Jordan. 1. Slow cooked lamb/goat in a flavorful broth 2. Stewed in a yogurt sauce with the same flavorful broth 3. Place rice on a huge flatbread 4. Place meat on top 5. Cover it with the amazing sauce 6. Use the flatbread to eat the dish dipping it in extra yogurt sauce

Try feijoada is kind a mouth full to try it. It’s a typical Brazilian dish. So you will need pork belly, feet, ribs, ears, and tail, sausage of pork, beans, green cabbage and rice. So what you do is, you make a rice with Onios and garlic, simple fried rice. (You may to this as the last one). You fried the sausage and the ribs and belly, while boiling the feet, ears and tail. You need to boil it 2 to 3 times, to remove the excess of salt. Make the beans must be dark beans. Then you start to mix everything but the rice and the green cabbage. Let it boil on low for at least 4 hours keep adding water so you don’t burn it. For the green cabbage, you get another pan fried with onions and sausage(slice it). Eat with rice, slices of oranges. You can add a vinaigrette it’s opcional but will majorly increase the taste.

Let's gooOoOO oOoOO you finally did south Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Bay leaves "even though I still have no idea what they do to food" 😂 😂😂

I’m Australian and a South African friend made this for a dinner party. Loved it!

I have some South African friends who made this dish for us when they were visiting us in France. Loved it!

With so many tribes and cultures in South Africa… I’m sure there’s a lot of South Africans in here who’ve never heard of this dish 😂❤️

YAYYYY🎉 South African who just moved to the United States. Miss home a lot. I bought your cookbook! Thank you for featuring South Africa ❤

That looks so good!

Bobotie is one of my favorite dishes in the world. I've had it made by two different friends from SA. It's delicious.

I'm 32, I grow up eating it at home but I personally have never made it 🙈 my kids never had it. Think I should really try it

As a South African that moved to the UK, Bobotie is literally one of my favourite dishes still to this day.

try the pakistani national dish called nihari (Nihari is a stew originating in Indian subcontinent consisting of slow-cooked meat, mainly shank meat of beef or lamb and mutton, goat meat and chicken, along with bone marrow.)

Yeah-story time: One set of my great grandparents were from northwestern Italy in the Cuneo/Piedmont region I know everyone thinks spaghetti is the national dish, but, based on how many times I ate bagna cauda at my grandmother’s house versus how many times I ate any pasta (including her fantastic homemade gnocchi di potate), bagna cauda seems to have at least been the regional dish there. Bagna cauda is, essentially, a cream reduction sauce with 4 ingredients: a pint of heavy whipping cream, 4 tablespoons of butter, 3-4 cloves diced garlic, and 3-4 anchovie fillets. (Do not add truffles, please-they taste like tin, except for the chocolate confections. But those shouldn’t be added, either). Melt the butter in a sauce pan, sautée the garlic until just golden, add the cream and anchovies, stir gently, and let simmer until reduced by 1/4-1/3. Serve in a bowl with hunks of fresh bakery bread and raw veggies-like carrot sticks, celery, cauliflower, and broccoli. I know this has nothing to do with bobities-I just think you should try it. This is my comfort food on a rainy cold night. Btw-the nipple thing on the garlic was the garlic clove trying to grow you more garlic out of its own self.

Was born in South Africa and lived here for 20 years and I've never had bobotie

I love when he randomly said bubble tea

Honestly speaking i think South African's can advocate for me when i say i think our National Dish should be Pap en Wors🙌

Fuck no

As a chef, I’m loving these videos! Great idea for content, keep up the good work! 🔥

I think all south Africans can come together and make our national dish a boerewors roll to avoid any arguments. You've had one. Don't lie

im am also from South africa, and you should REALLY try "pap en wors" as well as "potjie kos"

All your videos are so unique and so cute. Love them all!

As a South African i have never heard of this dish before......but i am glad you enjoyed it

One of my favourites but it is more popular in the Western Cape as it’s of Malay origin. Also if you decide to try it, use buttermilk instead of milk.

South Africa is a multi-cultural country. Bobotie is a very popular dish among Afrikaans and Cape Malay people. It might be considered as the "National" dish in those communities but not among all cultures. Pap and chicken feet might be more popular in some other cultures. Or braaivleis which is loved by most cultures excluding vegans and vegetarians.

National Dish. That's a tough one. Many countries contain regions with significant cultural differences influencing what food is popular. Anyway, I learned a new recipe today.

I am from South Africa and I am so happy you have tried South African food :)

As a South African, it's either a gatsby(huge bread roll with chips, meat, lettuce, tomato and other toppings), durban curry, braai, breyani or samosas

That "Weird Nipple Thing" on the garlic is basically the root growing, and that for many people that is the thing that causes stomach ache and also bad breath smell, so well every piece of garlic have that if not grown outside it will have it inside, you have to remove that to avoid stomach ache, bad breath smell and also a sharp taste, and I would even try just like frying the garlic whole and when it's golden remove it because the garlic taste will be infused in the oil without the need of infusing our mouths with the killing vampires skill, but then reuse that golden garlic to make garlic mayo, or put it in cold oil and let it infuse that oil so then you can choose how much garlic taste you want.

As a South African I don't think this is our national dish. Half of us haven't heard of it

I get u made a South African national dish I have to say with all due respect I have never heard of bobotie and I was raised in South Africa but national dish wise I feel it would have been better to make a dish that was simple and everyone knows because I have never seen bread being put into milk but no never heard of it

Bobotie is for capetonians, 😂😂😂 the rest of us eat pap and vleis.

I'm South African but I don't even know Bobotie :(

Quick tip- if you’re using curry powder, make sure you fry it before doing anything else.

Yup, Boboutie is the best. But South Africa has many dishes that can be described as national. Personal favorite is the Bunny Chow.

Bunny Chow sounds like the cutest name you can give for a dish

@@in5minutes556 It is quite cute, you hollow out half a loaf of bread, make a curry and pour it inside, then you take the bread fluff and use it to eat the curry then you can also break off parts of the hollowed out loaf to have. Its a very unhealthy meal but man does it hit the spot and keep you fuelled for a whole day. Its called a bunny chow because the bread fluff you get from hollowing out the loaf looks like a bunnies tail.
