Bunny Chow
Bunny Chow is a South African dish, consisting of a bread loaf filled with meat or chicken or vegetable curry. Here I made with chicken. When we came to South Africa heard about a well known dish called Bunny Chow and many of the South Africans believe its a typical Indian dish as it is more popular among South African Indian community.
There is a story with this recipe. During the Great Depression in 1933 Indians, whites and chinese in durban, SA, suffered hunger like everyone else. the kids then discovered that the cheapest curry they could buy for a quarter penny or half a penny, was made by a vegetarian Indian caste known in Durban slang as the Bania. It was made from dried sugar beans (no meat). The children didn't have plates, and one kid got the idea to hollow out a quarter bread , asked the seller to put the beans curry in the hollowed -out bread, and then used the broken bread he is taken out as a sort of eating utensil. Chinese food was called "Chow". Somehow the two words came together, Bania Chow. In time it simply became known as Bunny Chow. Cheap and practical food that time. Today it doest not matter what your skin colour or station in life is. Durbanites and people from the Kwa-Zulu-Natal province love their bunny chaw.
I searched for the recipe and tried at home. So here is recipe for you all to try..
