Waiting for a cook
Mauritius
Gros pois are the big white lima (butter) beans that Mauritians cook into a yellow curry with curry powder, turmeric, curry leaves and thyme. On its own it is a vegetarian dish, and it is the classic filling spooned into a dholl puri with chutney. With beef, or with tripe, it becomes a Sunday main course served over rice. Every household has its own balance of spice.
The draft was written from 3 published sources and holds 15 ingredients and 7 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
