The overwhelming range of different seafood dishes in South Africa and the straight from the sea freshness has become legendary.  This recipe might look like a lot of ingredients, but if you measure them first, it’s an easy, one pan job.  Instead of your typical chicken curry, try this delicious South African dish for an unforgettable curry night.
