The
wind is picking up and blowing at a fair old pace at the moment and
it is definitely feeling colder if you are outside getting blown
around.
DB
and I have begun baking the Indian dishes for next Tuesday. We
decided to treat the ladies from our closed school to a home made
Indian meal. We like to prepare, cook and freeze as much as possible
ahead of time, otherwise we will be too busy in the kitchen to chat
to them properly.
The
starters will be samosa's (yet to be made). They will be followed by
Tandoori chicken legs served with a butter cream sauce. The legs have
marinated and are currently in the freezer, sauce can't be made until
the afternoon of the day itself otherwise it splits.
A
home made spicy Indian chutney plus banana's tossed in coconut and
chopped indian, onion and cucumber salad, poppadom's and home made
naan bread will also be available.
The
main course will be chicken with mint and black eye beans with
mushrooms, served with plain boiled rice.
We
shall have a non Indian pudding of tart au citroen, vanilla ice cream
with a dash of home made chocolate vodka for those who want it.
All
in all, I reckon for each person it will be around the £9 including
drinks, tea and coffee so not bad at all.
If
I get the time to photograph anything, I will do so and post it here
after the event.
Today
I also found time to make 12 linseed and poppy seed rolls plus a loaf
of bread.
Sounds tasty : )
ReplyDeleteShould be but that is why is is all being frozen as it seems to improve the flavours.
DeleteAll sounds good, I am sure the ladies will love it xxxx
ReplyDeleteHopefully they will, we usually have a good laugh anyway, DB is classed as 'an honorary woman"!
DeleteWhat a busy day you've had - your menu sounds delicious. It's definitely been a day for staying in here today - wet, very windy and very dark.
ReplyDeleteI reckon the western half of the country is having the worst of it. At the moment it is very windy but still waiting for the rain (around 10pm).
DeleteOh can I come? That sounds delicious and Indian is my favourite. Hope you have a wonderful evening.

That would be nice but unfortunately, you would have had to have worked at our school! The thing I like about making these things yourself is you get to taste things not normally found in a takeaway menu.
DeleteOh wow - that sounds like a wonderful menu! My mouth is watering. Lots of hard work for you but I'm sure it will be well worth it. xx
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to it, just the last minute things to do on the evening.
