✨ Have you heard of Bunny Chow?

This iconic Indian–South African street food was born in Durban in the 1940s. A hollowed-out loaf of bread filled with spicy curry—messy, comforting, and oh-so delicious! 🥖🔥

Here’s the Durban Mutton Curry recipe I used

🥘 Ingredients
	•	1kg mutton (on the bone, cut into pieces)
	•	4 medium potatoes, peeled & halved
	•	2 onions, finely chopped
	•	3 tbsp vegetable oil
	•	2 tsp ginger & garlic paste
	•	2 medium tomatoes, grated
	•	2 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder (or Durban masala)
	•	1 tsp ground turmeric
	•	1 tsp garam masala
	•	1 tsp fennel seeds (ground)
	•	1 cinnamon stick, 2 cardamom pods, 1 star anise, 1 bay leaf, few curry leaves
	•	Salt, to taste
	•	Fresh coriander, for garnish

🔥 Method
	1.	Heat oil, add whole spices (cinnamon, cardamom, star anise, bay leaf, curry leaves).
	2.	Sauté onions until golden, then stir in ginger-garlic paste.
	3.	Add chilli powder, turmeric, fennel, garam masala with a splash of water and tomato—cook into a fragrant paste.
	4.	Add lamb and salt. Simmer until tomatoes break down.
	5.	Add potatoes + 2 cups water. Simmer on low until meat is tender, potatoes are soft, and gravy is thick.
	6.	Garnish with fresh coriander.

🍞 Scoop into a hollowed-out fresh loaf, add extra bread + carrot sambal, and you’ve got yourself a true Durban Bunny Chow! 🇿🇦
