What is Bunnychow?

Bunny chow is a South African fast food dish that originated in the Indian community of Durban. It consists of a hollowed-out loaf of bread filled with curry. The bread used is typically a white bread loaf, and the center is scooped out to make space for the curry filling, which can be made with various ingredients such as chicken, beef or veggies.

Bunny chow has a unique history, believed to have been created by Indian immigrants in Durban who needed a convenient way to carry their lunch to work. The dish has since become a popular street food in South Africa and is enjoyed by people of all backgrounds. Bunny chow is often eaten with one’s hands, tearing off a piece of the bread to scoop up the delicious curry filling. It has evolved over time with different variations and spice levels to suit different tastes.

Also this curry can be cooked using any kind of liquid i.e. coconut milk, water, tomatoes, cream, yoghurt, sour cream etc.

Best used for cooking any kind of meat, seafood, vegetables or lentils.

This 280g jar will cook with approximately 6kg of meat, vegetables or seafood – 30 servings.

Smoky Barbecue Glaze Mild (250ml)

This Smoky sweet sauce is great for adding a rich and flavourful taste to a variety of dishes. It pairs well with grilled or roasted meats, as well as vegetables, and can also be used as a dipping sauce or marinade. Whether you’re looking to add smoke or simply enhance the flavour of your dish, smoky sauce can be a versatile and delicious addition to your culinary repertoire.

How to use a Glaze:

When cooking meat, either on the BBQ, in an oven or a smoker, generously pour glaze over uncooked meat in a dish and with clean hands, turn the meat over to ensure that it is liberally coated on all sides.

For the oven and smoker, cover the meat and cook following the usual cooking instructions. Uncover for the last quarter of the cooking time to allow the sauce to reduce and the sweet stickiness to develop. Re-coat now to personal preference, if required.

On the Barbecue, just cook on the plate or over the grill. The glaze will darken and look burned but that’s okay – and awesome. If making kebabs, thread the meat (and vegetables) through the skewer and brush the glaze over with a pastry brush, then pop them straight on the barbie!
