This practical street food from Durban is made by filling a hollowed-out loaf with a spiced chicken curry. The bread serves as both bowl and food, soaking up the extra sauce for a hearty meal.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Cook the aromatics and spices

8 min

Sauté the onion and garlic in oil over medium heat until softened. Add the curry powder and turmeric and cook for 1 minute.

2

Add the chicken

8 min

Add the chicken and cook for 6 minutes, turning until it is browned on all sides. Add the grated tomato.

3

Simmer the curry

30 min

Add the potatoes, water, and salt. Cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened.

4

Prepare the bread

8 min

Cut off the top of each loaf and hollow out the center to make a bowl. Set the removed bread aside.

5

Serve

Fill the hollowed loaves with the hot curry and serve with the reserved bread pieces.

Reminder

The curry can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Fill the bread just before serving, or it will soften and fall apart.
