Ajuks

Ajuks is a traditional dish originating from the island of Mauritius, a country in the Indian Ocean. It is a popular street food and is often served as a snack or light meal. The dish consists of a large, round flatbread made from a dough of flour, water, and sometimes a bit of oil. The flatbread is typically cooked on a griddle or tawa until it becomes crispy and golden brown.

Ajuks is often filled with a variety of savory ingredients. Common fillings include curried chicken, beef, or fish, as well as vegetables such as onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers. The filling is placed in the center of the flatbread, which is then folded in half to create a half-moon shape. The edges of the flatbread are often crimped to hold the filling in place.

Ajuks is typically served with a side of chutney, which adds a tangy and spicy flavor to the dish. It can also be accompanied by a cup of tea or coffee. The dish is known for its simplicity and delicious taste, making it a favorite among locals and tourists alike. Ajuks is a staple in Mauritian cuisine and is often enjoyed during social gatherings and family meals.
