Chicken La Daube

Chicken La Daube is a traditional Mauritian dish of chicken fried with onions, garlic, ginger and spices before being stewed in a tomato-based sauce flavoured with chillies. It's an incredibly comforting dish! The "Daube" dish itself comes from the French culinary world (originating from the classic "Daube de Provence" made with beef) and made it all the way to Mauritius probably way back in the mid 1700s to early 1800s when the island used to be a French colony, before the British took over. Over time, it was of course adapted and changed on the island. Our Mauritian Chicken LaDaube is such a fragrant dish made with chicken and is co...

Fish Kalia

Kalia is a typical middle-eastern Mauritian dish often referred to as a “light” Biryani because of the similarity in spices used for both dishes as well as their methods of cooking. So it's a Biryani without the rice if you will! If you have had Biryani before or have heard of the dish and of how amazing it is... well, you are in for an absolute treat with this Fish Kalia this week! It is such a divine dish cooked with a blend of mildly sweet and spicy flavours after marinating in saffron, yogurt, mint and so many more other flavours.

Beef Curry (Cari la viande dhal gram)

If you never tried this before... well, you are in for an absolute treat! In Mauritian Creole we call it "Cari la Viande Dhal Gram". This curry is a pretty common dish in Mauritius made with a meat, yellow split peas, onions, tomatoes, coriander and many other spices and ingredients.

Vegetable Biryani

Our Mauritian Biryani (or Briyani as we pronounce it in Mauritius!) is much closer to the Hyderabadi Biryani style of cooking (originating from South India). The rice is layered with the spices, marinated vegetables, golden fried caramelized onion, ghee, garlic, ginger, fresh coriander, fresh mint, potatoes, vegetables, premium saffron and more ingredients. The end result, of our biryanis, is not very ‘ghee’ rich, as the different spices used do all the talking! Back in the day, this dish was considered a royal dish for Nawabs (Nobles) and Nizams (Governors or Administrators). Nowadays, biryanis maintain a worldwide reputation as is ...
