A loaf of bread is cut into halves or quarters and the middle of the loaf is cut out, forming a hollow \u2018bowl\u2019 of bread. Various Indian curries are poured into the hollow loaf, and the remaining piece of bread is used to eat with the curry inside. This meal really gives a person a few moments of utmost satisfaction and contentment. It\u2019s the perfect meal for any vegetarian, vegan or non-vegetarian, with each curry option being just as delicious as the other.
