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 laktes are also great as a breakfast dish, topped with some applesauce and crispy bacon!

Thank you, Mandy!!
Looks really yummy. Hope your cold is soon better. Keep warm. xx
Thanks, AD! I am much better!!
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
I could not comment last night on my RSS reader for some reason! Hope you feel better soon, and if you have a moment could you see if that photo is showing on my blog?

There is nothing worse than a cold but your laktes should make anyone feel better. Stay warm and feel better soon.
