A video from Durban Curry House celebrates one of South Africa’s most beloved foods, complete with rich curry, Mrs Ball’s chutney and fluffy fried dough.

 

London, United Kingdom (19 June 2026) – If there is one thing South Africans know how to do, it’s turn simple ingredients into something unforgettable. A new video from Durban Curry House proves exactly that with its flavour-packed take on magwinya.

Featured in the fifth episode of a South African sandwich series, the video takes viewers behind the scenes of a dish that celebrates both comfort food and local culture.

The final product is anything but ordinary.

Warm magwinya opened up and layered with chutney before being generously filled with the curry. The result is messy, flavourful and unapologetically South African.

Originally, they have been enjoyed as an affordable meal, a quick snack or a comforting treat.

By pairing it with curry, Durban Curry House taps into another beloved part of South African food culture.
