  1. READY THE RICE

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the rice in a pot with 150ml [300ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water. Cover and bring to a boil.

Fluff with a fork, stir through ¾ of the chopped coriander, and cover.

  2. GOLDEN CROWN

  3. SMELL THOSE FAMILIAR FLAVOURS

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the Carrot and the onion. Fry until soft and browned, 4-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Mix in the bobotie spice (to taste), the lentils, the sultanas, ½ the chutney, and 50ml [100ml]|#7DA0D7 of water. Simmer until slightly reduced and thickened, 5-8 minutes (stirring occasionally). Season.

  4. TO TOP IT ALL OFF
