The secret of a good bunny is to use the freshest white bread you can find and cut it in half. Be careful to leave enough crust (+- 2cm diameter should do) along the edges and at the base when you hollow the halves out, in order to prevent leakage when you pour in the curry. Read more Compress the dough from the insides of the bread just enough to form a nice "cap" to absorb curry gravy. Do have a fingerbowl and plenty of napkins. Do not mind outsider stares. See less
