If you were in denial that we're steadily marching towards colder months, the past weekend was a wake-up call. The weather suddenly turned chilly and we were scrambling for our cardigans.
And when the weather gets cold it's always a great idea to warm yourself up with some hearty food. Here is a recipe for you to try at home from chef Sithembiso Ndashe, the founder of Ndash Foods.

½ tsp ground turmeric
500g diced beef
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 tbsp tomato purée
