The spectacular city of Cape Town has been a trading hub for centuries, and its influences from many different countries have resulted in a fascinating cultural mix as well as some fantastic food! To begin our meal we’ve got samoosas, a familiar fried snack of Indian origin, served with blatjang, a spicy apricot chutney. Next up is a simple Cape Malay chicken and potato curry made with mother-in-law masala - a blend containing lots of chilli and nutmeg. Finally we’ve got pears poached in rooibos, a South African herbal tea, served with a lightly spiced whipped cream.

5/5

Whilst ordering my replacement curry legend spices saw the cape town date night. The samosas were easy to do and tasted great and have given me the confidence to have another go from scratch. The main course was delicious spicy without too much heat. The poached pears were a hit and the spiced cream with them was a game changer. Purchased a couple of different Indian based mixes at the same time. Can't wait to try those.

We're so pleased to hear how much you much you enjoyed all 3 courses from the Date Night in Cape Town box, and that the samoosas weren't as intimidating to make as you might have initially thought! You'll definitely have to check out the samosa recipes in your Curry Legend book (now that you're a pro!) - happy spicing!
