Waterkloof’s Massaman & Lamb Pita
with fresh sambal & yoghurt
A fusion of Persian, Indian, and Malay culinary flavours, this curry is as rich as its history, Chef! The pan-seared lamb, coated with a mixture of garlic, tomato paste and Spice & All Things Nice Massaman curry paste, is served inside a warm pita pocket. Balanced with a refreshing homemade tomato, parsley & cucumber salsa and dollops of creamy yoghurt. Best enjoyed with the recommended Waterkloof wine pairing.
