Believed to have its roots in the Durban Indian Community , it is quite filling & a meal by itself . Cricket, South Africa & Punjab are linked to each other. One cannot do without another . Here I have tried to Indianize a most popular South African dish to suit our Indian taste buds & palette. Do try , it's delicious & awesomely tasty fast food .

Steps

1

Combien kabuli chana, chana dal, a pinch of soda & salt in a pressure cooker. Add 1 cup water & pressure cook for 4 whistles. Allow the steam to escape before opening the pressure cooker.
2

Take oil in a pan, add cumin seeds,when they splutter add cloves, cinnamon, bay leaf & cardamom & saute for 30 seconds.
3

Add onion paste and saute for 5 - 7 minutes. Add tomato puree, turmeric, red chilli powders, asafoetida, garam masala, chole masala & dried mango powder, cook for 5 minutes on a slow flame 🔥 stirring occasionally.
4

Add chopped methi leaves, spring onion whites & cook for 3 minutes.
5

Add boiled chole along with water, spring onion greens, salt, sugar & cook for 5 - 7 minutes & till chole thickens a little. The chole should be of thick consistency.
6

How to assemble : Take a burger bun on the table top. This is known as 'Government Sandwich Bun Loaf ' in South Africa.
7

Using a sharp knife, cut out most of the soft bread from inside leaving a thick wall & bottom. The bun will be hollow now. Keep the removed soft bread a side.
8

Ladle the curry into the hollow & put back the soft bread you removed on the top. You could use this bread to eat the curry as "this is ALWAYS eaten with hands".

Note : Actually any type of curry (vegetarian / non vegetarian) goes into a Durban Bunny Chow, it depends on the cook & your tastes !
