1. Mutton curry

While the mixture needs to marinate in the refrigerator overnight, the cooking of the meal itself is relatively simple. With flu season upon us, it is also a wonderful idea to add a bit of heat for extra comfort. Serve this dish with basmati rice, naan bread, or roti. Mutton curry is perfect for winter – the only trick is ensuring that the meat is tender enough.
2. Chicken Briyani

While many people who have never attempted to make Briyani or Akhni are often intimidated by the process, it is not as challenging as one would think. While it is important to take your time in the preparation of this meal, there are diverse ways you can make this dish. Some people layer their Briyani, whereas others prefer mixing all ingredients together. TikTok user, cookwithrohima, perfectly illustrates how one can make this meal from start to finish. While it is preferable to use ghee, if you have no access thereto, you could use oil with a dash of butter instead.
3. Macaroni and cheese

While macaroni and cheese is certainly not a traditional Cape Malay dish, if you’re pressed for time but want to contribute something to the table, this meal may be the way to go. It is quick and easy, packed with cheesy deliciousness, and perfect for young kids and family members who do not like eating heavy meals.
