Vetkoek with mince

South Africa · Sub-Saharan Africa

Short description: Vetkoek with mince pairs a puffy fried bread with a saucy savory filling.
Ingredients: Deep-fried yeast dough is filled or served with spiced minced meat, onions, tomato, and curry-style seasoning.
Cultural note: The bread works like a handheld carrier: crisp outside, soft inside, and sturdy enough for sweet or savory fillings.
Common misconception: It is not the same as a doughnut; the dough can be served plain, savory, or with jam.
