Rougaille is a rich tomato based dish, truly a Mauritian favourite, known by many. It looks similar to my ladob but it tastes so different.
You can make this dish with lamb, salt fish, prawns, chicken and even sausages. I made mine with chicken because my prawns didn't come in my shopping delivery last night 😤
Super delicious and full of flavour with a few simple ingredients that you probably have everyday in your homes. You can also use the tomato base for flatbreads or even a pizza base. It's so delicious!
