For a richer curry flavor, consider using a high-quality curry blend. If your curry powder is mild, feel free to increase the amount to suit your taste. To enhance the sweetness, incorporate a dollop of apricot preserves or a spoonful of fruit chutney into the meat mixture. Serve Bobotie with yellow rice, chutney, and a dollop of yogurt for a complete South African experience.
