Indian night at the Uni - Focusing on Vegetarians
« on: November 08, 2012, 09:21 PM »
Being a Carnivore, I have never really given much thought to the vegetarian world, so this week, I thought it about time to give them their due...

Tonight, I made a mini selection pot for them which included, Mushroom Bhaji, Vegetarian Sheek Kebab and a Vegetarian Samosa. The other dish was a Sag Aloo. Even though it was, "Reading Week" at the Uni where most of the students go home, I found that I had not made enough of the stuff which soon ran out :(

Luckily, this was about 7.15pm and as we close at 7.30, we made some veggie burgers for the rest.

Well done Bob !  But my heart goes out for those poor souls who arrived at 19:16 only to find that all the Indian goodies had gone and all that was on offer were veggie burgers . . .

Sorry, I did forget to mention that it was only the pot selection that had run out, there was still some Sag Aloo :)

What have you learned from working in a pro kitchen?

Has it affected your home cooking?

Great stuff 976, not only on the food, but on the drive you clearly have. Some great opportunities(name of the guy cooking ;D) there for someone like yourself.

I think it has taught me a number of things really, Hygene being one of the most paramount, but also speed, thinking in advance of, a), what I need and b), when do I need it, so sequencing and thinking ahead.

Quality and selection have improved on the home front, as I now have more ideas for cooking different foods, rather than the same old, same old favourites.

It's certainly been a great experience for me, which I shall never forget :)

Did you have the opportunity to practice cooking individual portions like in a BIR?

Have your home curries improved through the experience, if so how?

Great work, Bob  :D
