I notice this same error is on the original recipe I have. I am terribly sorry about this and I have rectified the recipe. The curry is supposed to be added to the onions and garlic while they are browning. @Lily – You are quite correct, I did forget to add the curry powder.

Not being an experienced cook I followed all the steps and at the end found I had not put the curry in. Re-checked the recipe and you did not say when it had to go in. Can you rectify the recipe. As a matter of interest I mixed the curry powder with the egg/mild mixture and poured it over the mince that I had in the dish. Looking forward to trying some of your other recipes.

The nice thing about lamb is that you can make the curry a bit stronger should you prefer. I have subscribed to your feed and will be around soon. Thanks for the stumble.

Thanks for sharing it with us. BTW I've always thought lamb mince would also work very well for bobotie, but I've never seen it made that way. Have you?

I changed the recipe slightly to suit my own tastes. I left out the garlic as well as the cloves. I also only used 1 teaspoon of curry powder as I only had extra strong curry powder. I could not find bay leaves or lemon leaves so I settled for parsley. The bobotie was delicious. As I manage to find time to make the recipes published here I will publish photos of the real thing along with the recipe. I have just made this dish for myself and I was suitably impressed.
