Cape Malay

Cape Malay is a type of food that comes from a special group of people who live in South Africa. These people are called the Cape Malays because they come from a place called Cape Town.

The Cape Malays have their own special way of cooking food that's a little different from other types of food. They like to use a lot of spices, which are like special powders that make food taste really good. Some of the spices they use are called cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves.

One of the most famous Cape Malay dishes is called bobotie. Bobotie is made with ground beef and spices and then mixed with bread crumbs and eggs. It's like a meatloaf that's really moist and flavorful.

Cape Malay food is really special and lots of people in South Africa love to eat it. It's a great way to try new flavors and experience different kinds of food!
