READY THE RICE
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 150ml of salted water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork, stir through ¾ of the chopped coriander, and cover.
GOLDEN CROWN
In a bowl, combine 50ml of milk, the turmeric, and seasoning. Crack in 1 egg and whisk until combined. Set aside.
FLAVOURFUL MINCE
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the Carrot pieces and the diced onion until soft and browned, 4-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add in the mince and break it up as it starts to cook. Allow to caramelise until browned, 3-4 minutes (stirring occasionally). Add the bobotie spice (to taste), the Raisins, and ½ the chutney. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add 50ml of water and simmer until slightly reduced and thickened, 5-8 minutes (stirring occasionally). Season.
TO TOP IT ALL OFF
