Mauritian Dal Puri with Chicken Curry is a beloved street food that carries the essence of the island’s diverse cultural heritage. Dal Puri, a soft, thin flatbread stuffed with spiced yellow split peas, is rooted in Indian culinary traditions brought by indentured laborers. Over time, the recipe evolved, blending with Creole, African, and Chinese influences to create a uniquely Mauritian dish. Vendors skillfully roll and fill the puris on bustling streets, their aroma filling the air and drawing crowds eager to taste this simple yet flavorful creation. Served with a rich and aromatic chicken curry, the dish is a true reflection of Mauritius’ culinary fusion.
The chicken curry is a flavoorful combination of tender chicken pieces simmered in a thick, spiced sauce made with a base of onions, tomatoes and fresh herbs. The curry’s warmth and spice harmonize beautifully with the soft texture of the Dal Puri, making each bite a burst of flavour. Traditionally eaten by hand, this meal brings with it a sense of community and comfort, whether enjoyed at home or from a street vendor. Mauritian Dal Puri with Chicken Curry is more than just a meal, it’s a delicious symbol of the island’s history and the richness of its multicultural identity.

Mauritius’ history is a chequered yet fascinating one and it’s filled with juxtaposing things; of slavery and freedom, of inequality and tolerance and of hardship and beauty.

In 𝗙𝗲𝗯𝗿𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝟭𝟴𝟯𝟱, slavery was abolished in Mauritius. This instantly created a demand for replacement labour on the plantations.
After the war between the British and the French in 1810, the island fell under British rule. The British administration, which began with Robert Farquhar as governor, was followed by rapid social and economic changes. One of the most important events was the abolition of slavery in 1835.
The first slaves arrived in Mauritius from Madagascar in 1639 and by the late eighteenth century, slaves accounted for around eighty percent of the island’s population with forty percent from East Africa and just under seven percent from India.

He named the island “Isle de France”, but it was only in 1721 that the French started their occupation. However, it was only […]
The first recorded mention of the dodo was by Dutch sailors in 1598. In the following years, the bird was hunted by sailors and invasive species, while its habitat was being destroyed. The last widely accepted sighting of a dodo was in 1662. The Dutch had landed at Grand Port in the southeast, driven by […]
Mauritius had for a long time remained unknown and uninhabited. It was visited by Arab sailors during the Middle Ages, and on maps of about 1500, it is shown by an Arabic name ‘Dina Arobi’. The Portuguese sailor Domingo Fernandez Pereira was probably the first European to land on the island at around 1511. The […]
