VETKOEK WITH MEAT FILLING
One recipe i looked at said "england has its yorkshire pudding, South Africa its vetkoek" It is fried dough filled with whatever you like once you cut it open. The author of this one suggests leftover veggie curry as well if you can't find the canned. The literal translation of this is "Fat cake". Taken from bigoven website. You can also just use jam or any savory "filling"
