Lamb Knuckle & Butternut Curry Potjie

This recipe is inspired by the Cape and the touch of sweetness added to many of their spicy dishes. We have added sweet and heavenly butternut, a hint of cinnamon and fruity chutney to counter the spicyness resulting in an aromatic and satisfying curry that even the kids can eat.
