Great! Indian food is a popular cuisine in Fiji, and there are many restaurants serving authentic Indian dishes. However, there are also some unique Indian-Fijian fusion dishes that you won't find anywhere else.
One such dish is lairo crab curry. This dish is made with crab that is caught in the Fijian waters, and it is cooked in a traditional Indian curry sauce. The result is a delicious and flavorful dish that is sure to please.
Another unique Indian-Fijian dish is dalo puri. This dish is made with dalo, which is a type of root vegetable that is native to Fiji. The dalo is mashed and then made into a flatbread that is cooked in a tandoori oven. The puri is then filled with a variety of Indian fillings, such as chicken, lamb, or vegetables.

My family is Fiji Indian. Thank you for showing our heritage. We are similar to Indians but also so different. Thank you for showing that we are our own culture. I hope you tried tinned mutton on your trip. Vinaka!
Edit: Indentured Labourer is equivalent to slave labour. Do your own research, We were forced onto labour by the English. Many of our ancestors were tricked into going to Fiji. They were told they would move to another part of India to work in the cane fields. Once they were one the ships they were transported to Fiji by the English.

My neighbours in Sydney were Fijian Indian when I was a kid. I used to play cricket and soccer vs their kids after school all day. Once in a while, they'd invite me over to their house for dinner. It was amazingly tasty. They were very good people, very kind and very generous and very funny. I used to watch cricket and rugby league at their house and the grandma would swear at the tv if her teams were losing, good fun.

Mark wiens, you should have gotten a better tour guide. Someone that engages more and takes you around Suva, nausori area more. after watching this, just realized there s not a lot of fijian cuisine choices. first episode was everything coconut milk, this one is all curry.
But still, nothing beats our Fiji curry and coconut dishes

In Bangladesh and at home in Canada, we cook the same way as seen here. Turmeric mostly gives the color, spices mix gives the tastes, but at home rice instead of roti. The first 2 restaurants owned vy the Muslims. Fijian hindus eating habits are different from India.

Pretty sad that in the USA it s called slavery but in other countries it is known by endentrude. The slaves to the USA have brought so much great food and cultures to us. Nothing against Weines as he tries to bring this to all of us. Just venting

Similar to curry in Trinidad and Tobago. We season our meats first in green seasoning (blend of herbs, peppers garlic onion and spices) before the curry process.
