 Mauritius Food Recipes

Mauritius is a paradise for the senses, not only for the eyes with its beautiful landscape, but also for the palate. Gastronomes will find a variety of flavours and aromas inherited from the different migrations through its history. Culinary traditions from France, India, China and Africa, the best-known and appreciated cuisines in the world, have been passed on through generations. The story of a Mauritian starting the day with a continental breakfast, followed by an Indian Lunch and finishing off with a Chinese dinner is a common cliché.
 
The combination of curries and rougailles along with white rice and other beans is popular with the locals and is generally included in their everyday food. The unique interblending of spices with vegetables, meat and fish is what lends that distinctive, unique charm to the food of Mauritius.
  
 While on a trip to Mauritius, you must savor the Mauritian food to the fullest. Some of the must-eat Mauritian dishes are dholl purri, farata, gâteaux piment and samosas. For sea food lovers, they must treat themselves to the “Millionaire’s salad” comprising of oysters, shrimps, crayfish, crabs, Rosenbergi prawns that is served with sauce rouge (red sauce) and the heart of a palm tree. To get the taste of real Mauritian food, have a dholl puri with a large glass of Alouda or tamarind juice. It can be said for the dishes of Mauritius that just by savoring it one can travel to all corners of the globe without leaving the table. Indeed tourists in Mauritius can begin their day with a continental breakfast, followed by a Chinese lunch and finish with an Indian dinner along with some French wine.
