Who knows what a bunny chow is? Well it's a dish from Durban made with Indian influences that is served in a hollowed out bowl made of bread. I've tried a few in my time and the flavour is distinctly different to a traditional 'Indian' curry in that it's usually made with curry powder. They are delicious but I thought I would give it a go and add my own little twist. So here it is my very own - Indian bunny chow! I would love to hear what you think of it so who is going to try it?
