(This article is about a dish in South African cuisine. For film, see Bunny Chow (film).) Bunny chow, often referred to as a bunny, is a South African fast food dish consisting of a hollowed out loaf of bread filled with curry. It originated in the Durban Indian community. A small version of the bunny chow that uses only a quarter loaf of bread is sometimes called a kota ("quarter"), a name it shares with spatlo, a South African dish that evolved from the bunny chow.
