Bobotie (pronounced ba-boor-tea) is a much-loved casserole with curried ground beef at the bottom and a thin layer of egg custard on top, that originated in South Africa in the 17th century. Bobotie is recognized as South Africa's national dish. With spice influences introduced by the Cape Malay community, who are descendants of Indonesia and Malaysia.
For bobotie, a mixture is first prepared from beef mince, onion, ginger and garlic, then flavoured with curry paste, numerous spices, sultanas, and sweet mango chutney for a delicious finish, before being filled into a casserole dish, poured with custard cream and baked in the oven until golden and crispy. The result should be a balance between spicy and sweet with a fruity note.

- Heat oven to 180C/350F. Pour the milk over the bread and set aside to soak.
- Meanwhile, fry the chopped onion and ginger in the butter, stirring regularly for 5 minutes until they are soft and starting to colour. Add the garlic and beef mince and stir well, breaking up mince with a wooden spoon, for 10 minutes or until browned.
- Stir in the curry paste, thyme, spices, chutney, sultanas, lime juice and 2 of the bay leaves with 1 tsp salt and plenty of freshly milled black pepper. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Squeeze the milk from the bread, saving the milk for the topping. Add the bread to the meat mixture and stir until well blended.
- Transfer beef mixture to an ovenproof baking dish, pressing down on the mixture to create a flat surface.
- Whisk together the reserved milk and eggs, and season. Pour over the meat and top with the remaining bay leaves. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is set and starting to turn golden. Serve with extra chutney, a side salad and rice if desired.

...this is a beautiful spicy delight!
This dish was almost universally on the menu when we visited South Africa. Back then we ate much more meat and had it a couple of times. It was pretty good too.
That sure does look good, let's eat!
Wow this is a hearty meal everyone will love here!
Un buen pastel de carne, original para mi que no lo conocía. Para una reunión va muy bien, pues sale una buena cantidad. Lo encuentro muy bueno y así voy conociendo algo de cocina internacional.
great meal.... wish to try it...
Interesting
I think Angie is delicious. I see that you have 2 preparations that we already know. When I read it I saw that it said custard in the translation. I thought it couldn't be. I kept reading and I see that it is what is called "flirting" around here and it is used to join ingredients: eggs, milk or cream and condiments.
WOW!!.....it looks delicious and very healthy!!!!.......Abrazotes, Marcela

Now I've heard of this dish but have never had a chance to try it. I'll have to remedy that soon since I've got the recipe! Something tells me this would be less received in this house.

This is one of my most favourite casseroles, the flavours are just out of this world. Your recipe has a lot more ingredients than mine so I'll have to give this a go when we're back home.
