Comforting, spiced & creamy; perfect dish for the weekends. Serve with some prawn crackers (kroepoek) and Maggi. Maggi is salty flavor enhancer which has aromas of the Maggi Plant/ Lovage. It is used in the Dutch Kitchen already for more than 100 years, and therefore part of the Dutch Dinner Table. If you prefer to eat vegetarian, use some bell peppers instead! Or cauliflower or zucchini.. Just make sure you have a high quality curry powder!
