Help needed with curry.

[Raindance]

Hi Guys, I have been trying to make curry the way I remember it from my days of innocence. Sometimes I get close but nothing really gets close to the taste I remember.
This was "goeie ou boerekos" curry the way the tannie at the losieshuis made it.

I am really hoping someone out there knows what I am talking about and is willing to share, please help, I need this in my life.

Thanks for anyone that may offer some suggestions.

Thanks,
Regards

I only know Durban curry. That's easy like Sunday morning to make

Yeah, not a fan of "bore kerrie" at all. I'd like to know how to make authentic Durban and Indian curries though if you'd care to PM me a good recipe for getting that right. Not even the packets of cook-in sauce comes close for me.

If you don't like boere kerrie, then the one who made it fooked it up

In my experience it's usually more turmeric than curry and very very mild at that. I like a bit of kick and some complex flavor. A simple example of what is missing in boere kerrie is cumin. I love cumin.

Love my Durban and Malay curries but I just have these memories of a dish completely different from those two.

Boere kerrie is supposed to be mild. When boere kerrie was "invented" I don't think they knew about cumin, so it was never included...lol.
