King Prawn Bunny Chow, Sweet Potato Fries & Tomato Sambal

This recipe is our twist on the famous 'Bunny Chow', developed by Indian workers during the Apartheid. Traditionally, a hollowed-out loaf of bread is filled with spicy curry, but for this quick version we use brioche buns instead, and serve it with fries and a tomato sambal.
