Baku Kitchen! An independent reference of traditional food

Mauritius

Ask what Mauritius eats and the answer starts with this: creole melting pot: Indian flatbreads and curries, Chinese noodles, French touches, fiery chutneys and beloved street snacks. Look for Dholl puri (soft split-pea flatbreads with curry, rougaille and pickles; island icon), Rougaille (creole tomato, onion and thyme sauce with sausage, fish or prawns) and Gateau piment (crunchy split-pea chili fritters, breakfast in a baguette). Flatbread stuffed with ground split peas, brought by indentured labourers from Bihar after 1834 and now Mauritius’s defining street food.
