Butter-Chicken Bunny Chow
Recipes » Main Dish » Poultry - Chicken
I haven't made this yet - but I had to post it. Who knows where the name bunny chow comes from, but its a Durban specialty. My husband raves. Basically you hollow out a bread loaf and scoop curry on the inside. And eat down the bread and curry together. Its a lot of fun. May I suggest doing this for movies at home?

This was great! Very mild though - I threw in some chiles at the end - after I had finished dishing up for the small ones!
