Topic: Dinner Party

[Panpot]

Hi Everyone, I have been so inspired by my results and great feedback from people i have tested the food on that I have organised a curry nite on Saturday for a total of eight people.

I will probably stick to my tried and tested recipes from the site but wondered if anybody could offer any good tips for preparing and serving on the day and night. How to keep stuff warm and looking and tasting great etc?

Starters  Pakora, Shish Kebab, Papadoms and sauces Spiced Onion's

Main   CTM, Chicken/lamb Madras, Piluo Rice Chapatis

Sweet  ?

Panpot,

Good luck with your dinner party, make sure you get plenty of pics and load them on the site.

Make sure you get plenty of Cobra Beer  ;D or a decent wine to go with spicy food.

It's always fun to have Indian music playing in the background.  You can get CDs or tapes at your local library. 
Your menu sounds great.  Do you need a taster?

Good luck!
