Cape Malay cooking is one of South Africa's great gifts — Malay and Indonesian spice routes meeting Dutch Cape kitchens, producing sosaties, bredies and curries unlike anywhere else. This rub carries that warmth: turmeric and cumin up front, cinnamon and ginger underneath, a whisper of tamarind for the sweet-sour note that makes a proper sosatie sing with pickled onions and apricot.
