Thanks guys originally a couple of friends were coming over but they let us down so it was just me and the wife in the end...there was plenty of leftovers for the next day!!!  It took all day to prepare and cook and by the end of it I was so blooming hot from the kitchen I thought I was going to melt.Trouble is I must have drunk about five stellas during the afternoon while I was cooking I was a bit worse for wear by the end of it as you can see!!!

The tandoori chicken was cooked in a high oven but not for too long otherwise it tends to dry out.The best method I found for cooking chicken tikka is under a low grill,this blackens the outside a little whilst keeping the inside moist.I've tried cooking that it an oven as well but I found it makes it go dry if you're not careful..You never know my wife might get me a tandoor for Xmas!!!

JB - well done. Both the individual dishes and the table setting look great. I think all your efforts are paying off!
