This is the first time I’ve used Inkomzi in any dish and I probably wouldn’t ever tried it if it wasn’t for my Friend who have brought me left over’s of this dish she makes regularly.
So I had to try it for myself. Let’s just get a few things clear, first of all this Indian dish do have a proper name (one I cannot pronounce or spell). This dish is my version (because I can not remember if the mustard seeds is supposed to be in the rice or int he sauce..lol).
I will have to sit down with a pencil and a paper and get the recipe from my friend again, but untill then here it is.
Ingredients
500g Inkomazi
1 -3 green chillies - deseeded
1 onion – finely sliced
5 ml black mustard seeds
3 ml Turmeric powder
3 ml Mixed Dhania Jeera powder
5ml olive oil
3 curry leaves
2.5 ml salt
2 potatoes peeled and cut into thick slices
Braise the onions in the olive oil, add the mustard seeds and spices, set aside. In a food processor chop the chillies adding a little Inkomzi at a time in order for the chillies to be chopped finely. Add the rest of the Inkomazi to the chilli mix and set aside. In a separate pot boil the potato slices until soft and strain.
Add the Inkomasi with the onions and spices add the curry leaves and summer for +- 10 minutes constantly stirring. Add potatoes and simmer for another few minutes.
Serve with Spicy Basmati rice and any meat of your choice.

Tips
________________________________________________________________________
Add 10 ml flour mixed with a little milk to the sauce mixture if you want to thicken the sauce a bit more.
Green chillies give this meal it distinct fresh taste don’t use red chillies.
Loose the meat and enjoy this meal on it’s own.
