South African Delight Homemade Bunny Chow is a dish that originated in the Indian community of Durban, South Africa. It involves scooping out the center of a loaf of bread and filling it with a delicious curry, creating a portable and edible bowl. The bread absorbs the rich flavors of the curry, making every bite a savory delight. Whether enjoyed as street food or a homemade meal, Bunny Chow is a culinary experience that reflects the diverse heritage of South Africa.

Ingredients

  • small round bread loaves (or half-loaves) - 4.0 pcs
  • chicken, lamb, or vegetables (diced) - 1.0 lb
  • vegetable oil - 2.0 tbsp
  • large onion, finely chopped - 1.0 whole
  • tomatoes, diced - 2.0 pcs
  • curry paste or powder - 0.3 cup
  • ground cumin - 1.0 tsp
  • ground coriander - 1.0 tsp
  • turmeric - 1.0 tsp
  • chili powder (adjust to taste) - 1.0 tsp

Cooking Steps

Step 1

Cut a thin slice off the top of each bread loaf. Hollow out the center, leaving a thick crust to form a bread bowl. Reserve the scooped-out bread for dipping.

Step 2

In a large pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened.

Step 4

Add the diced chicken, lamb, or vegetables to the pan. Cook until browned.

Step 5

Stir in the diced tomatoes, curry paste or powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, and chili powder. Mix well.

Step 6

Pour in the coconut milk, season with salt and black pepper, and bring the curry to a simmer. Cook for about 20-25 minutes or until the meat is cooked through or the vegetables are tender.

Step 7

Once the curry is ready, spoon it into the hollowed-out bread loaves, ensuring each portion is generously filled.

Step 8

Garnish the Bunny Chow with fresh coriander leaves.

Step 9

Serve the Homemade Bunny Chow hot, with the reserved scooped-out bread on the side for dipping.

  • coconut milk - 1.0 cup
  • Salt and black pepper - 1.0 to taste
