Thanx for your comments and the lovely photo's!

Yes, there are as many versions of bobotie as there are of paella or lasagne!

My recipe is one by mrs Tienie Vorster, wife of a past president of South Africa. She made a study of the Malay cooking culture and I like her recipe best. But my mother again put raisins into the mince mixture which was also nice. The turmeric flavoured rice is very tasty with the dish and is known in SA as "funeral rice" because it was served after funerals as accompaniment to lamb dishes or bobotie!

Anyway, try it out and let me know what you think.

I tried this when our Aussie friends visited last weekend. It was light, fluffy, delicious and a perfect ending to a meal!

 Next time I will use about 15ml of cornflour, because the mixture was already very thick after the cooking process. Maybe our cornflour in South Africa is a bit stronger.

But apart from that it is a lovely dessert.

Chit Chat / What type of flour?
« on: March 11, 2011, 08:42:38 am »
Last week I made the plain white rolls, and I used white bread flour. When I finished kneading the mixture was not smooth, but crumbly. I added a little more water and it looked ok, but the end result was not good. Should I rather have used cake flour?

Hi all
Tx for the warm welcome! It feels like being part of a family!

Yes, I literally live round the corner from Shayla. She sold my Themomix to me and is always ready to help-like when I whipped cream and ended up with butter! And this was a demo to friends to show them my amazing machine! Ouch!
Anyway, practice makes perfect and things are going well now.

Hi everyone!
I am a new member from South Africa-more specifically the Western Cape. I am a passionate cookery enthusiast and enjoy my new Thermomix. I have already made a number of recipes from subscribers to the forum and all of them were very good.
South Africa has very wide variety of traditional dishes, so I am going to try to adapt them for the Thermomix and share them with you!
I am looking forward to exchanging recipes and ideas with you.
