Chouchou Curry
Chayote pieces in a light curry sauce with herbs. Very low in calories and fat, cooked with minimal oil for a gentle, digestion-friendly dish. Served with a 50/50 blend of white and brown rice for a low-GI, high-fibre twist — if you prefer traditional white rice, the blend keeps the change barely noticeable. Prefer it milder? Just ask — we dial down the chilli while keeping the full aromatic flavour, so it's gentle on the palate without losing its Mauritian character.
