‘Chilli Bites’ is a snack that comes from South African Cape Malay heritage. We serve this dish as part of our starter menu, with our homemade Sweet Chili Sauce.

  • 1-2 tsp red chili chopped
  • 1 large potato, coarsely grated
  • 1 large onion, coarsely grated

PREPARATION

  • Sift all the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the above.
