Mauritius is an island country in the Indian Ocean. Mauritian cuisine is deliciously influenced by China, Europe, and India with lots of curry and spice, as well as French classics such as coq au vin. If you can find fresh turmeric, swap in 2 tbsp minced for the ground. Enjoy the chicken spooned over rice and served with kidney beans.
