Topic: A curry evening with a difference

[flavorjunkie]

Ever asked friends round for an evening and got them cooking their own meals?

I did this recently and it was one of the best evening's entertaining I have ever had.
I invited two couples round for a curry evening, gave them my restaurant menu and told them to pick whatever they wanted, then offered them the opportunity to cook it themselves.
To ease the shock I said I would do all the prep and demonstrate one being made and then they could cook their own.

The two gal's said they weren't going out for a meal and cooking it for themselves  :-X, but the two guy's were eager to have a go . They measured out the spices, did the chef thing, spooned them into foil containers and put them in the oven to keep warm whilst the rest were being made.
The selections they chose were Desi Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Chettinad, Karahi Chicken and 2 x Chicken Ceylon.
I must say they were really chuffed with the evening, a totally unique experience and a good laugh - even before the Cobra's. I think they are now hooked and eager to have a go themselves. One of the wives has already made a batch of base sauce.

The trouble is that they can't stop telling their friend's and you may be in danger of being expected to do it for everyone.

If you've never done this it really is worth it.

Curry rules!
