Make a hollow in the center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, warm milk, and margarine (stir to melt the margarine).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pour the liquid into the hollow in the dry ingredients. Gradually draw in the flour until a dough forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, satiny, and elastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased mixing bowl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Turn the dough over so that it is lightly coated with oil. Cover with a clean tea towel or cling wrap and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Curried Mince Preparation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and fry until soft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stir in the curry powder and ground coriander; cook for 2\u20133 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add the beef mince and fry until browned and crumbly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mix in the brown onion soup mix and then pour in the beef stock. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer for 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add the frozen peas, corn kernels, and chutney. Simmer for an additional 10\u201315 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Assembling the Vetkoek<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the dough has risen to double its original size, gently punch it down (deflating it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fold the outer edges toward the center and divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cover the dough balls with a tea towel or cling wrap and let them rise for another hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a saucepan, heat enough oil for deep-frying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fry the dough balls until golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside. Remove and drain on paper towels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To Serve<\/p>\n\n\n\n Using a knife, carefully cut a pocket in each vetkoek (or slice them in half).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fill each vetkoek with a generous amount of the curried mince.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Serve hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Enjoy this comforting, flavorful dish that brings together crispy bread and savory curried mince!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A hearty South African treat!
