Try this popular Indian South African fast-food dish filled with a fragrant chicken heart and gizzard curry.
Ingredients:
- 500g chicken hearts
 - 500g chicken gizzards, cleaned and trimmed
 - 2 Tbsp (30ml) vegetable oil
 - 1 large onion, finely chopped
 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
 - 1 Tbsp (15ml) ginger, minced
 - 2 Tbsp (30ml) curry powder (or garam masala)
 - 1 tsp (5ml) ground cumin
 - 1 tsp (5ml) ground coriander
 - 1 tsp (5ml) turmeric powder
 - 1 tsp (5ml) paprika
 - 2 tomatoes, diced
 - ½ cup (125ml) chicken stock
 - Salt and pepper to taste
 - Fresh coriander for garnish
 
- 1-2 uncut white loaves
 - ¼ cup (60ml) margarine
 - 1 tsp (5ml) garlic powder or crushed fresh garlic
 - 1 Tbsp (15ml) freshly chopped parsley
 - Salt and pepper
 
Method:
- Rinse the chicken hearts and gizzards thoroughly. If the gizzards are large, cut them into smaller pieces.
 - Boil the gizzards in a pot of water for about 30-40 minutes to soften them. Drain and set aside.
 - Heat the oil in a medium saucepan or pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger, and sauté for another minute.
 - Stir in the curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and paprika. Cook the spices for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
 - Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook until they break down about 5 minutes.
 - Add the pre-boiled gizzards and chicken hearts to the pan. Mix well to coat them with the spice mixture.
 - Add the chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce the heat, and let it cook uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the meat is tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
 - To make the garlic loaves, mix the margarine, parsley and garlic salt.
 - Cut the bread into your desired portion size (either in halves or quarters). Then spread the sides of the loaves with garlic margarine. Toast the sides of the loaves in a pan until golden.
 - Carefully break or cut the soft middle parts out of the bread and fill with curry. Serve.
