Topic: Upmarket Indian

[tempest63]

We have four friends coming next Saturday for a dinner party and I thought I would try to go "upmarket Indian" and serve a number of courses rather than just stick a few dishes in the middle.

We have starters sorted out and then I am going to serve Tandoori Poussin but want a butter sauce to serve on the side. I am looking for something smooth rather than the type with green peppers etc in it. Anyone have any tried and trusted recipes?

Then I am moving on to racks of lamb, one per couple. I looked at a few including Atul Kochhar http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/grilledrackoflambwit_86209 but felt with the cream that it was moving away from traditional indian spicing. Does anyone have a good recipe for an indian spiced rack of lamb?

If push comes to shove I suppose I could use a Raan recipe for the spicing.

Any ideas or comments gratefully received

I have used this recipe for a long time - it's a traditional butter chicken recipe - you could make the sauce as prescribed - no green peppers!

I also adapted this to BIR style using the Taz base:

Both work very well but if I had to choose I still prefer the traditional sauce.
