Bunny Chow Bread Loaf
A soft, fluffy homemade loaf which I’ve finally cracked for a perfect bunny chow.

Ingredients:

Flour paste:
* 25 g cake flour
* 125 ml milk

Dough:
* 500g cake flour
* 1 tbsp cornflour
* 2½ tsp instant yeast
* 2 tbsp sugar
* 2 tbsp milk powder
* 1½ tsp salt
* 220 ml warm milk
* 40 ml warm water
* 2 tbsp oil
* 2 tbsp softened butter
* 1 egg

For Finishing:
* 1 tsp melted butter

Method:
* In a small saucepan, combine the cake flour and milk. Cook over low heat while stirring continuously until the mixture thickens into a smooth paste. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool completely.
* In a large bowl, combine: cake flour, cornflour, instant yeast, sugar, milk powder and salt.
* Add: cooled flour paste, softened butter, oil, warm milk, warm water and an egg. Mix until combined and use hands to form a dough.
* Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes until smooth and soft.
* The dough should feel slightly tacky but manageable. Avoid adding too much extra flour.
* Place the dough into a lightly greased bowl - coating the dough with excess oil in the bowl.
* Cover and allow to rise in a warm place for 1½ hours or until doubled in size.
* Punch down the dough to remove the air.
* Place into a loaf pan (I used a 95 × 150 × 305 mm loaf pan).
* Cover loosely and allow to rise again for about 30 minutes, or until the dough rises slightly and takes a loaf shape.
* Preheat the oven to 180° Celsius.
* Place a tray of hot water on the bottom rack of the oven to create steam.
* Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped underneath.
* If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil during the last 10 minutes.
* Brush the hot loaf generously with melted butter as soon as it comes out of the oven.
* Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel while cooling to keep the crust soft.
* Allow to cool before slicing or hollowing out for bunny chow.

* Few sprigs of thyme
*1 sprig curry leaves
* 2 tablespoons ginger & garlic paste

Method:
* Rice the rice until the water runs clear & set aside.
* Rinse & cut the chicken into curry pieces.
* Press ‘sauté’ on your Instant Pot, add vegetable oil to the inner stainless steel pot followed by the onions, chillies, thyme, curry leaves and whole spices. Mix & sauté until onions are translucent.
* Add ground spices & ginger & garlic paste. Mix & simmer for 30 seconds.
* Add the chicken pieces & salt to taste. Mix, cover & allow the meat to seal in the spices for 2 minutes.
* Give it a stir & add tomatoes, fresh coriander, 800ml water and potatoes.
* Mix together and then spread out the rice on the surface. Do not mix the rice in.
* Press ‘cancel’ on your Instant Pot then press ‘pressure cook’ & adjust the time to 25 minutes. Turn the anti-blockage vent to ‘sealing’.
* Once 25 minutes are over, allow it to Natural Release for 15 minutes, then press ‘cancel’ & move the anti-blockage vent to ‘venting’ to release the pressure.
* Once the silver button sinks, it’s safe to open the lid.

This Mother’s Day feels extra special 🧡

To be featured alongside my mum Logie Hemraj in the POST Plus paper is something I’ll cherish forever. From learning recipes in the kitchen to building EatMeeRecipes, so much of who I am comes from her love, strength, and guidance.

Food has always been more than just a meal in our home - it’s memories, tradition, comfort, and connection. Every recipe I share carries a little piece of my family, my roots, and the women who shaped me into who I am today.

Happy Mother’s Day to my mum, and to every mother figure whose love continues through generations 🤍✨
