Mauritius
Mauritian food mirrors the island’s mix of peoples: Indian curries and flatbreads sit alongside Creole tomato sauces, Chinese noodles and French bread. Everyday favourites include dholl puri, farata, rougaille and fish curries, while street stalls sell crisp gâteaux piments. Thyme, ginger, chilli and fresh coriander build the flavours.
