It all started with JustChef! SousChef spoke to her on the phone and got it. I left a comment on SousChef’s Facebook wall and now I have it as well. I am talking about an awful cold!
To top it all, it is cold, grey and whet in Cape Town today. This curry dish will bring some warmth and colour into your life.
These latkes with a curry sauce are a great light dish on its own, served with some colourful vegetables. It is also a great side dish and goes well with boerewors, steaks or lamb chops. The potato latkes are also great as a breakfast dish, topped with some applesauce and crispy bacon!

I have so many potatoes so this looks like a great recipe to try!!
If you have lots of potatoes, try this, especially if you like curry!
i love latkes, but prefer rosti
I also like rosti, but find it more difficult to make, because mine always breaks!
they look really good. The colour alone shows warmth, so eating them must really make you feel snuggly. 🙂 Hope your cold/flu shifts quickly. So many people going down with it right now
Thank you! It is really extremely cold!
Looks and sounds good but I’d have to have mine without the breakfast bacon, thank you
🙂 It tastes very good with bacon for breakfast!
