Model Answer 1:
South Africa is a country enriched with a good number of beautiful landscapes 
and most importantly the foods of the country are adorable. Cape Malay Curry 
is one of the favourite food items in the country and served on different 
occasions. 
In fact, this is a distinctive curry that mostly depends on spices for aroma and 
taste. Some colourful fruits and vegetables are also used with the curry to 
make it more attractive and sometimes it is served with yellow rice instead of 
plain rice. The curry is less hot than the other curries of the country. The entire 
curry is filled with fruity flavour and the spice aromas help to increase the 
tastes as well which is the key reason for the curry to be served during 
occasions. 
The preparation process of the curry is similar to the preparation of the other 
curries but it is different in this sense that it requires some extra spices to 
increase the aromas. In the beginning of the cooking, you need to heat the oil 
in a cooking pot or pan. Then you are to add the sliced onions in the oil and fry 
them till they are softened. But you need to steer the fry so that they do not 
get stuck with the pan. Then add the other ingredients such as ginger, cloves, 
garlic together and stir them for sometimes. When the mixture will be 
softened, it is the time to add the remaining ingredients and add water 
sufficiently. Then place the chicken thighs on the cooking pot and cover the 
pan. Leave the pan on the stove for around half an hour. Then you need to stir 
the mixtures very well so that they do not get stick with the pan. Add potatoes 
and keep cooking for around 15 minutes more and keep the pan uncovered.

You need to stop the stove when the ingredients are tendered. You can also 
prepare the rice before serving them. 
This traditional South African food item requires more spices than ingredients. 
The most used ingredients are – sunflower oil, chopped onion, cloves, garlic, 
turmeric, cumin, cinnamon, red chilli, ground white pepper, coriander, cumin 
seeds, chopped tomatoes, chunked potatoes, chicken thighs with bones etc. All 
the ingredients should be used with the right quantity and the cooking time 
also needs to be perfect. If you cook the chicken with the spices for over 30 
minutes, there are chances that the chicken pieces will be softened more than 
expected and will lose the taste. Serving plays an important role here. the 
curry needs to be served with the hot rice. 
I always enjoy the curry as this is different from the other food items of South 
Africa. When the curry is served with the yellow or plain rice, there comes an 
exceptional aroma from the curry. The tickling aromas help to imagine that I 
am having the best food of the world. Moreover, the curry is prepared with 
different spices but none of them is too hot or salty. So, the taste becomes 
very special. The curry has been being served for years as a traditional food 
item in the country and throughout the years, and only for the special aroma, 
the curry soared to the top of popularity. For all such reasons, I enjoy the curry 
very much.
