👨‍🍳 Method

🔑 Step 1 – Build the Flavour Base

2. Add the chopped onion and habanero chillies.
3. Sauté until the onions are well browned and fragrant.

🔑 Step 2 – Cook the Mince

1. Add the beef mince.
2. Break it apart with a fork or wooden spoon.
3. Continue cooking until the mince is fully browned and evenly mixed with the onions and chillies.

🔑 Step 3 – Add the Spices

1. Sprinkle in the Pako Masala.
2. Add the Boerewors Seasoning and Steak & Chop Seasoning.
3. Stir thoroughly to coat the mince.

🔑 Step 4 – Create the Sauce

2. Pour in enough water to create a rich meat sauce.
3. Bring to a gentle boil while stirring.

🔑 Step 5 – Simmer

1. Reduce the heat.
2. Allow the curry mince to simmer for approximately 20 minutes.

   Four habanero chillies may be excessive for some people.

   🌶️🔥 Habaneros are extremely hot and can quickly overpower the dish. If you are sensitive to chilli, start with one habanero and increase the quantity in future batches according to your taste.

3. Cook for a few more minutes until the sauce thickens to your preferred consistency.
