South African Bobotie image

This is a delicious, wholesome favorite from my home country, South Africa. You can find a lot of different variations, but this is the one I like the most! I got a similar recipe from a nutritionist I saw who recommended I eat lower GI meals. This is slightly tweaked, but still healthy and with a low GI.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bobotie didn't turn out as good as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The bobotie was a bit dry. I think I should have added more milk to the mixture.

I found this bobotie recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use more spices.

This bobotie was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I will try making it again with less chili next time.
