GOLDEN CROWN
In a bowl, combine 50ml of milk, the turmeric, and seasoning. Crack in 1 egg and whisk until combined. Set aside.
CHARRED CORN
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the corn until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
FLAVOURFUL MINCE
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the carrot chunks 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 sultanas, ½ the chutney, and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add 50ml of water, and simmer until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes (stirring occasionally). Season.
TO TOP IT ALL OFF
Evenly spread out the cooked mince mix in an ovenproof dish. Pour over the egg topping. Bake in the hot oven until the topping is set and golden, 15-20 minutes.
