    Very interesting take on potjie. Thanks. I am a pensioner alone in RSA and make a potjie once a month using my Sassa government pension. A no 3 pot gives me a month of food which I freeze in small bakkies and serve on rice or pasta as needed. I will be trying your curry version soon and wish I could invite you to try. Take care

    • @TravelGigolo
      @TravelGigolo  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We also prepare our meals in advance, not always a poitjie though but enough to freeze in little containers for a couple of weeks worth.
      Enjoy the poijtie!

    Hey travel Gigolo, love your videos, Would it be possible when you go to places to maybe mention weather or not they are petfriendly (dog), it would help us as pet owners, baie dankie vir jou awesome videos

    • @TravelGigolo

      Hey Mira, good points. We don't take our dogs with us so it has never occurred to me to consider whether the places are pet friendly. Will try to remember to confirm that.

    Looks divine! If one wants to use potatoes,when is the best time to add them?

    • @TravelGigolo
      @TravelGigolo  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I generally allow about 30 to 40 minutes for potatoes to cook and absorb flavours. Longer than that and they may start getting mushy. So, for me, 30 to 40 minutes before taking the heat off.

    Will the oxtail browning for a a potjie take longer to brown?

    • @TravelGigolo
      @TravelGigolo  ปีที่แล้ว

      I find that browning is quicker in a cast iron pot because it is heavy and has a lot of heat mass.
      Hope you will try the recipe. Let me know how it goes 👍🏾
