Is there wherever else within the nation that serves curry as scrumptious as KZN?
Turmeric-stained fingers expertly toss unmeasured quantities of spices into pots the dimensions of a South African pothole and not using a single thought, creating scrumptious artwork with an intoxicating scent that will get into your garments and hair.
Nevertheless, the true check of a great Durban curry comes via the burn. That is the place my ‘out-of-Durban-curry-experiences’ fall brief. I’m not saying I’m within the enterprise of consuming rocket gas, however I get pleasure from a little bit of a chunk. The sluggish burn that has your coronary heart questioning if it’s falling in love or experiencing delicate heartburn.
These tried and examined KZN curry spots tick all of the bins, and I extremely suggest you cease by one… or all of them (possibly with a glass of milk) the following time you’re in or round Durban.

Curries, bunny chows, and sweetmeats are simply pretty much as good as my beloved spicy deep-fried pastry.
