2 hours cooking = large container or massala sauce, large container of roshney sauce, 12 bhajis, and about 15 large pieces of chicken marinading. Add the sausages, burgers, wraps and pittas and we should have enough food!

Here is the link which includes directions. If you look at the park map you will see Car Park 3 on the right hand side and some BBQ icons. We have booked BBQ number 4 in the corner.

Getting there is pretty easy, from the M3 J4 follow signs for Frimley, then Frimley Green. When you get to the 'Green' in Frimley Green you go right at the roundabout, past the Rose and Thistle, the road ducks under a railway line than the entrance to the park is on your left hand side. Or, put GU16 6HY into the sat-nav if you have one.

Good work Solar and I'm sure he will be willing to taste and advise (even though it is Ramadan!)

I'm going to take some of my massala sauce too for people to try.

I was wondering the same thing. I'm not planning on taking any but I'm happy to try other peoples if anyone takes a batch.

I think the lemon dressing in this is a mistake. I was discussing bhaji's with Az yesterday and he said the lemon breaks up the binding effect of the egg and means the batter will break down too easily and the bhaji's won't hold their shape.

I notice the IG Bhaji's dont use any type of lemon in them and I think this is the reason why. I'll try dropping it with the batch I make tonight for the BBQ.

Absolutely! Im planning on taking some marinated uncooked meats to stick on the BBQ. I'll take my BIG skewers so no need to worry about bringing any. I'm also going to take a couple of sauces in aluminium foil trays to heat up on the BBQ.

I've also ordered lots of pitta breads and tortilla wraps to stuff with meat to eat, plus I'll have the naga chilli pickle to spice them up. I have plastic plates and cups too so you guys don't need to worry too much about those.

Natterjak - you are right, this is supposed to be a social event not a competitive one. We'll save that for the CR0 Cook Off in December  ;)

Good question Solar. He certainly wouldn't turn down the business and he can take card payment over the phone. The warehouse is over at Watchmoor Park (between the Meadows and the big Sainsburys). I was like a pig in sh*t walking round there :)

The company is called Caterpac and the email address is caterpacuk@googlemail.com. I suggest if you want to place an order, drop them an email with what you want and they should be able to get back to you with a price including delivery. Just make is FAO Aziz and mention my name.

While I was there a big order came in from the Golden Triangle. They were ordering 10 sacks of Basmati Rice and 15 of the big drums of Veg oil amongst a lot of other stuff. Az works there most days and then runs the takeaway all night - he works damn hard!

Good news, I saw my mate Az at lunch and he is definitely coming at around 12pm ish. He is going to bring a few bits and pieces for us to sample too. Incidentally, he sells the big 2.2kg tubs of Pataks pastes in his wholesale warehouse for ?7.99 - they are ?13.95 at Spices of India. I bought one of each of the main 3 and he threw in a jar of Naga Chilli Pickle to try, apparently it will blow your head off. I'll bring it on Saturday and see if the claims are true!

Razor - It's a great shame you can't be there but I know if you could be you would. Maybe in 2012 we could have one somewhere near Manchester and in Scotland in 2013!

Yes the photo / video comments very much still stand. Everyone should have the right to their privacy and not have to worry about having their pictures posted on an open forum.

I also think it's a shame more people haven't signed up but maybe more will turn up on the day. I have invited a few curry-loving friends and their families so there should be a good group of people. And the weather is still looking okay despite hideous rain today!
