For a richer flavor, consider using lamb or a combination of beef and lamb. Adjust the amount of curry powder to your preference. For a milder flavor, start with 1/4 tablespoon. If you don't have Texas toast, any thick-sliced bread will work. You can also use breadcrumbs as a substitute. Serve with yellow rice and a side of chutney for a complete South African meal. Consider adding a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture for added depth of flavor.
