=== South Africa === [[File:Durban's Famous Mutton Bunny Chow.jpg|thumb|upright=0.6|[[Bunny chow]], South Africa]] Curry spread to [[South Africa]] with the migration of people from the Indian subcontinent to the region in the colonial era. [[African cuisine|African]] curries, [[Cape Malay]] curries and [[KwaZulu-Natal|Natal]] curries include the traditional Natal curry, the Durban curry, [[Bunny chow]], and roti rolls. South African curries appear to have been created in both [[KwaZulu-Natal]] and the [[Western Cape]], while others developed across the country over the late 20th and early 21st centuries to include ekasi, coloured, and [[Afrikaner]] varieties.<ref name="seid">{{cite news |last=Seid |first=Shelley |title=Curry is the story of South Africa on a plate |url=https://www.timeslive.co.za/sunday-times/lifestyle/food/2017-10-18-curry-is-the-story-of-south-africa-on-a-plate/ |access-date=27 January 2018 |newspaper=The Sunday Times |date=19 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180127061712/https://www.timeslive.co.za/sunday-times/lifestyle/food/2017-10-18-curry-is-the-story-of-south-africa-on-a-plate/ |archive-date=27 January 2018 |url-status=live}}</ref> [[Durban]] has the largest population of Indians outside of India in the world.<ref name="ishay">{{cite web |last1=Govender-Ypma |first1=Ishay |title=The Brutal History of South Africa's Most Famous Curry |url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/the-brutal-history-of-south-africas-most-famous-curry/ |publisher=Munchies |access-date=27 January 2018 |date=11 November 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180128021236/https://munchies.vice.com/en_us/article/qv3njv/the-brutal-history-of-south-africas-most-famous-curry |archive-date=28 January 2018 |url-status=live}}</ref> Bunny chow or a "set", a South African standard, consists of either lamb, chicken or bean curry poured into a tunnelled-out loaf of bread to be eaten with one's fingers by dipping pieces of the bread into it.<ref name=seid/><ref name=ishay/> 'Bunny chow' means 'Indian food', from [[wikt:banyan|Banian]], an Indian. The method of serving the curry was created because [[apartheid]] forbade black people from eating in Indian restaurants; the loaves could speedily be taken away and eaten in the street.{{sfn|Collingham|2006|p=243}}
