South African Bunny Chow

South African Bunny Chow

How to cook 34 authentic global recipes without tedious planning.

South African Bunny Chow

The dish “bunny chow” originated in South Africa, specifically in the Indian community of Durban. It is believed to have been created by Indian immigrants in the 1940s. The name “bunny chow” is said to have originated from the Indian word “bania,” which referred to Indian traders, combined with the South African slang term “chow,” meaning food. Initially, the dish was served in hollowed-out loaves of bread, which were referred to as “bunnies.” Over time, it became known as “bunny chow.” Today, bunny chow typically consists of a hollowed-out loaf of bread filled with curry, often chicken or mutton, and is a popular street food in South Africa.

The dark mole sauce is made with several chili peppers, nuts, and chocolate. It is such a fabulous combination. Think of a chocolate bar with nuts and chili flavor. Preparing the mole sauce is usually labor-intensive and time-consuming.
This recipe is a delicious shortcut with three important ingredients: ancho chili, pasilla chili, and raw cacao. Unlike the common roasted cocoa, cacao is pure chocolate and higher in minerals.
