"Bobotie" is a South African dish that has Cape Malay origins. It consists of spiced minced meat baked with an egg-based topping. Of the many dishes common to South Africa, "bobotie" is perhaps closest to being the national dish, because it isn't commonly found in any other country. The recipe originates from the Dutch East India Company colonies in Batavia, with the name derived from the Indonesian "bobotok". It is also made with curry powder leaving it with a slight "tang". It is often served with "sambal", a hint of its origins from the Malay Archipelago.
