Spice Up Your Meal This Sunday With An Amazing Recipe From MissSA Top 30 Contestant Ferini Dayal.


By Phumzile Mavimbela

 When Miss SA Top 30 contender Ferini Dayal gets home at the end of the day, she loves nothing more than changing out of her scrubs, tying an apron around her waist and getting stuck into whipping up some scrumptious dishes in her kitchen.
 
“I love cooking,” says this 26-year old Kensington South resident. “After a hard day’s work at the hospital, there’s nothing more relaxing for me than pottering around in the kitchen and coming up with something wholesome and delicious for dinner.”
 
Ferini attained her bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Sciences in 2014 and, via the Graduate Entry Medical Programme, entered her third year of medicine and graduated in 2018 with a Bachelors of Medicine and Surgery (MBBcH) from the University of Witwatersrand. After completing two years of internship at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital she is now a community service doctor in Voslorus at Thelle Mogoerane Hospital.
 
Here are two of the doctor’s favourites:
