Eat an Authentic Durban Curry

Durban, the main city and hub of KwaZulu-Natal is known to be the second largest populated area with the Indian community, outside of India. This is due to the history of the Indian community traveling to South Africa to become indentured labourers and in KwaZulu-Natal, many of them arrived to work on the sugarcane fields. Because of this rich piece of history, Durban is also known to have some of the most authentic and best tasting Indian curries the world has to offer!

Of course, it is Durban, KwaZulu-Natal that is home to the infamous meal known as the ‘bunny chow’. A loaf of bread is cut into halves or quarters and the middle of the loaf is cut out, forming a hollow ‘bowl’ of bread. Various Indian curries are poured into the hollow loaf, and the remaining piece of bread is used to eat with the curry inside. This meal really gives a person a few moments of utmost satisfaction and contentment. It’s the perfect meal for any vegetarian, vegan or non-vegetarian, with each curry option being just as delicious as the other. The ‘bunny chow’ is reason enough to visit our exceptional province!
