This is a fun activity in Cambridge
This class is for you if you’re a big curry fan.
Reunion Island, where I was born, is a French colony off the coast of Madagascar, a couple of thousand miles away from Mauritius. The island has seen many settlers including Chinese, Hindus, people from Madagascar, all of whom had a great influence not only on its culture but most importantly its food.
Reunion Island curries take their influence from Pondicherry in India. The region was a French colonial settlement until 1954. Many from that region travelled to Reunion Island in the late 17th century in search of a better life. Their settlement on the island has influenced Reunion cuisine ever since.
In this session, we will cook up an exotic starter using mango, lime, and avocado, just to name a few of the ingredients. We will also make a traditional "cari, " which is a spicy and traditional dish using meat or fish. Both are cooked in a rich turmeric sauce. In this session, we will make 2 "cari" using chicken and fish, a rougail (a traditional side dish with chillies), a bean stew and rice, and a very exotic dessert using papaya, mango, pineapple, and rum.
Then, it’s time to eat. Take a seat at my table and enjoy the fruits of your labour.
