Since being on My Kitchen Rules South Africa #MKRSA my love for food has been reignited and my love for sharing good food, even more so.

Every week I’ll be bringing you a yummy recipe that you can make yourself and this week I’m featuring the prawn and chicken curry that we used on our pizza braai challenge.

Last week on My Kitchen Rules SA, ourselves and the other seven teams entered the impressive, gleaming new MKRSA Kitchen Headquarters in the heart of Johannesburg to receive their first group challenge brief from celebrity judges J’Something and David Higgs.

And since we are all playing for a grand prize of R1 million, we can rest assured that the judges will be setting the bar high from the get-go.

Plunging us all into straight into the deep end, the judges revealed that their very first challenge of the Kitchen HQ rounds will be for 100 hungry members of the public – at none other than the Johannesburg Zoo! We had to cook dishes that were kid-friendly and that also contained ingredients that were quintessentially South African…

This is our take on a delicious chicken and prawn curry. We hope that you love making it (even not on a pizza on a braai).
