1 tsp curry powder

½ cup (125ml) water
¼ cup seedless raisins (optional)
For the custard layer

Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C and grease a muffin tin with 6 large cups.
- First make the rice cups: Cook rice according to the pack instructions.
- Mix the yoghurt and egg yolks together. Add them to the rice and mix. Set aside.
- To make the bobotie filling: Soak bread in the milk.
- Heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the onion until soft. Add the mince and fry until browned.
- Stir in the curry powder and season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the milk out of the bread and crumble the soggy bread into the mince.
- Add the sugar, vinegar, chutney, raisins and ½ cup water to the mince. Stir and allow to simmer for 10 minutes or until the mince is cooked and the mixture is almost dry, but still moist.
- To make the custard layer, whisk the eggs, cream, remaining milk from the soaked bread, salt, pepper and butter together until well combined.
- To assemble the cups: Spoon the rice into the greased muffin tin. Spread it evenly but not too thinly, pressing up the sides.
- Bake for 30 minutes and remove from the oven.
- Add a generous spoonful of mince into each rice cup and smooth the top, keeping enough space at the rim of the cup for the custard topping.
- Pour the custard over the top of each bobotie cup and top with a bay leaf.
- Stand for 5 minutes and bake for a further 10 minutes or until the custard has set.
Serve and ENJOY!
