It’s one of the easiest and most tasty things to do on the braai and lucky for you, we’ve got a go-to guide right here. It pairs brilliantly with the crisp, refreshing flavours of the Bree Street Belle, which will soothe the spicy bite with each swig.

Method:

1. Give the meat a generous coating of the spice mix then toss it in oil and set it aside until you are ready to braai.

2. For the marinade, mix the ingredients in a small pot to combine then bring to a boil and let it cool.

3. Fry your onions until they start to brown. Throw in the garlic, curry masala and butter and fry for a minute until fragrant. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer on a medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Brush the meat with marinade and braai the meat over seriously hot coals for about 3-4 minutes per side while turning often. Re-apply the marinade with every turn. Serve the meat with the chakalaka and dig in. Bonus points are awarded for not using cutlery.
