THE CAPE MALAYS OF SOUTH AFRICA
The Cape Malays are an ethnic group in South Africa, whose ancestry is mostly Malaysian, Indonesian, Dutch, English (and a host of many other nationalities). Their cooking is inspired by Dutch (or Afrikaner) cooking, but the recipes have been altered to the extent that they often taste and look completely different. They are Muslims, and so all their food is halaal/ kosher.
The Cape Malay Frikkadel is much like the Malaysian Begedil (see a picture of it on Balqis’s blog here http://lilstarrz09.blogspot.com/2011/05/yummy-licious.html), except it’s made from steak mince and not beef. Sometimes Frikkadel is made with fish, using either Tuna, Hake, Salmon, or Snoek (a large fish that is indigenous to Cape Town). ... Rawiyah
Frikkadel is either oven-baked or fried (the baked one is usually spicier).

i think oven baked fish is one of the best ways to prepare it! it comes out healthier and more juicy than pan fry! thanks for the recipe post :).
ReplyDeleteLovely dish. It's really nicely done and I like the way it's oven-baked.

Your blog transcends time. It goes above and beyond the norm. I believe "variety" is the missing ingredient that connects the eater and the food. It will definitely put the healing back in healthy.
ReplyDeleteAnything with fish is lovely and light, yet to taste Frikkadel!
ReplyDeleteWith the sliced bread and egg added, is it crunchy when done? Its a complete meal on its own.
Cheers
That's a great Frikkadel recipe, Rawaiah! Loved the look of it...i looks so gorgeous and perfectly cooked! Maznah, you have a wonderful collection of recipes and I am loving your blog with every single visit! Shall post the "recipe" by today.
ReplyDeleteWow, looks fantastic! Lovely guest post. Thanks To Rawiyah for sharing it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Maznah for visiting. Always glad to hear from you :)
Hello everyone :)
ReplyDeleteWith all this feedback, i think i should blog a whole lot more about food and not literature!
Here are some answers:
Is the Frikkadel crunchy?
Since the bread is soaked in water, it doesn't make the frikkadel crunchy. Although, what will make it crunchy is frying it in a pan. The egg binds all the ingredients together and keeps it from falling apart.
For those who are making fish frikkadel - I have only seen it fried and not baked. It tastes much better fried, too. But do remember to place it onto paper towels after so that the oil can be absorbed, and the frikkadel isn't oily.
As for the ingredients - it's meat, and so variations in the kinds of spices used should only make cooking frikkadel more exciting. Cooking is an art, not so? :)
The recipe i provided is a traditional Cape Malay one, that's all.
@lunaticg: Some of the very basic Malay words are still used by the older generations, but not widely.
Also, since South Africa is a multicultural society, and people marry others who are from different ethnic groups, it is common that there will be groups who identify themselves as Cape Malay, but they don't have any Malay ancestors (or at least, it would be from way back when Malay slaves were sent to South Africa).
Very nice! Thanks for this!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for adding steaks in my bbq parties, I thought that my party can't be end without having steaks. Everything I made by watching your bbq steak article , you made it very easily. I took double of your time for cooking.
