Ostrich Breyani

This dish is an ode to the traditional breyani of South Africa, but with a twist! Flavours of fresh coriander, cumin, and whole cardamom & cinnamon take it to the top of the yum scoreboard! Ostrich chunks are fried in this heavenly spice blend before being tossed in basmati rice. The entire dish is then dolloped with creamy yoghurt. This one is very lekker, we guarantee it!
