1

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Melt the butter and add the chopped onions to a large pot and cook until translucent. Add the mince to the pot and cook until golden brown and caramelized.
2

Season with salt and pepper. Tear bread into smaller pieces and mash it with 1/4 cup of buttermilk and 1 beaten egg. Then add to the pot with the mince.
3

Mix the raisins, apricots, curry powder, bobotie spice mix, 2 bay leaves, chutney and apricot jam, then add to the pot of mince. Stir to combine and take off the heat. Transfer to a roasting dish.
4

For the egg mixture, beat the remaining two eggs with the remaining buttermilk and turmeric. Pour this egg mixture over the cooked spiced mince meat and place the remaining bay leaves on top of the unset bobotie then bake for 20 minutes.
