Cari Poulet

What we know so far

Cari poulet (kari poul) is the everyday curry of Mauritius: chicken cooked in a masala of onion, garlic, ginger, whole cinnamon, cloves and cardamom, tomato, curry leaves and Mauritian curry powder, with chunks of potato that cook in the sauce and are mashed a little at the end to thicken it. It is the dish of Sunday lunch and of the Indian, Creole and Chinese kitchen alike, served with rice, dal, a watercress broth, a tomato chutney and pickles, or wrapped in farata. No coconut, no cream: the sauce is tomato, spice and potato.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
