Bunny Chow

Here’s an awesomely tasty fast food from the kitchens of South Africa. An all-time favourite in that region, Bunny Chow or Bunny as it is fondly called is made by hollowing out a loaf of bread and filling it with tongue-tickling curry. Believed to have its roots in the Durban Indian community, Bunny Chow is quite filling and a meal in its own right. It can be relished as a quick meal, or served as the main course of a larger spread.

Preparation time: 25 minutes.
Cooking time: 26 minutes.
Makes 4 bunny chows.

4 burger buns
2 tbsp oil
1 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
1 tsp ginger-green chilli paste (adrak-mirchi paste)
1 tsp red chilli powder
¼ tsp turmeric powder (haldi)
1 tsp coriander (dhania) powder
1 tsp cumin seeds (jeera) powder
½ tsp asafoetida (hing)
½ tsp dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi)
¾ cup tomato pulp
Salt to taste
½ cup boiled green peas
¼ cup boiled and chopped carrot
¼ cup chopped capsicum
2 cups boiled potato cubes
½ tsp garam masala
2 tbsp chopped coriander (dhania)

For the garnish
4 tbsp grated processed cheese
4 tbsp shredded cabbage

9. Finally add chopped coriander and mix well. Keep aside.
10. Place a burger bun on a clean dry surface and make a square slit on top using a sharp knife and scoop out some of the bread to create a depression to form a cavity.
