To burn it off
Bunny chow is a curry served inside a hollowed out loaf of white bread. It comes from Durban's Indian community, and the bread you pulled out goes back on top as a lid for dipping.
A quarter, the size most people order, is 850 kcal. That's 100 g of carbs, 36 g of fat and 32 g of protein.
The bread is the bowl and you eat the bowl, so half the number is the loaf. The rest is the curry and the oil it was cooked in.
Tips
- 1Pick a bean or chicken curry over mutton, it's usually less fatty.
- 2Leave the bottom crust once the curry runs out.
- 3Share a half with someone instead of having a quarter each plus sides.
