Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: South African
Ingredients: 700 g chicken thighs (cut into pieces); 1 pc onion (chopped); 2 pcs tomatoes (chopped); 3 cloves garlic (minced); 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger; 2 tbsp curry powder; 2 pcs potatoes (peeled and cubed); 300 ml water; 30 ml vegetable oil; 4 pcs small white loaves (quartered, centers hollowed out); salt (to taste)

Method

Cook the onion

Cook the chopped onion in the oil over medium heat until soft.

5 min

Add spice and aromatics

Stir in the garlic, ginger and curry powder, and cook briefly until fragrant.

2 min

Add tomato

Add the chopped tomato and cook until it breaks down into a sauce.

5 min

Add chicken and potatoes

Add the chicken and potatoes, stir to coat in the sauce, then add the water and bring to a simmer.

Simmer until tender

Cover and simmer until the chicken and potatoes are fully tender and the curry has thickened.

Bunny chow curry is meant to be thick enough to hold inside the bread without soaking straight through — reduce it uncovered near the end if it looks thin.

25 min

Hollow the bread

Quarter the loaf and scoop out the center of each quarter to make a bread bowl, keeping the scooped bread for dipping.

Fill and serve

Season the curry with salt to taste, spoon it into the hollowed bread, and serve hot with the scooped bread on the side.
