Mauritius Cuisine - Creole Chicken Curry

Mauritius is known for its mishmash of cultures from all over the world. The result is a cuisine of its own creation — taking the best from French, Portuguese, Indian, Dutch and Arab influences and making fragrant and healthy dishes.

The local culture and cuisine is known as Creole, as is the language spoken which is a mix of French and many other languages.

Accomplished Mauritian chef Pascal Laurette took the time to demonstrate how to make a fragrant and spicy Creole Chicken Curry using skinned chicken pieces cooked to perfection and accompanied by aromatic basmati rice.

A basic Mauritian curry needs five essential spices, to which you can add others if you like. All must be in powder form. Use one teaspoon of each:

* Saffron
* Cinnamon
* Aniseed
* Cloves
* Cumin
