The New Salomie

[printfriendly]

You can’t call yourself truly Capetonian until you’ve met Salomie. She’s feisty, like a rich, spicy curry, but comforts at the same time with a blanket of thick, flaky roti. Salomies come in all shapes and sizes. Let’s see, there’s a mince curry version, chicken curry, steak curry, bean curry… if there’s curry involved, you can make a salomie. And to make it authentically Capetonian, make sure your roti is nice and thick – Cape Malay style – to soak up all those delicious curry juices. And there’s no right way to eat a salomie, although this fênsie, gluten-free salomie loves a knife and fork.
