The Bunny Chow is typically a South African dish,
originated in the KwaZulu Natal region, when the first Indians landed to work in the
sugar fields. The workers did not have the time to make the traditional Indian
beads, hence they were introduced to the western breads to have with the
curries. Since it was cumbersome to carry the curries in separate containers,
they cut the bread loaf in half, hollowed the soft part of the bread and filled
it with their favorite curry, topped it with the soft bread, wrapped and off
they went to work.
The term Bunny originated from the fact that the bunny chow
can only be eaten with hands, imitating the rabbit. The word Chow, was a cliché
used for food.
Today, the Bunny Chow is what burgers are to the
western world. A quick, spicy and filling meal.
Taj Mahal has earned a reputation of making the best Bunny
Chow in Gauteng. Unlike the traditional way of making a large pot of curry and
filling the bread when served. We at Taj Mahal cook individual portions for each
bunny ordered to the choice of the customer. Each bunny takes 15 to 20 minutes
to prepare. All our bunnies are available in Extra Mild (no chilies & less
spicy), Mild, Medium, Hot and Extra Hot (lots of chilies & very spicy) and in 3
sizes: Quarter loaf, Half loaf or full loaf of white bread.
