Carolyn, Deborah and Peter presented us with Indian cuisine today. Peter loves to experiment and was inspired to look at Indian food because Deborah’s son had been to a wedding in Kerala. Peter explained that there are regional differences in curries. For example Northern Indian has milder flavours using almond and cardamom. In Southern India the food is much more spicy.
Carolyn made us a salad consisting of mango, red pepper, oranges, corriander, red onion, pomegranate seeds(Carolyn’s tip, buy ready prepared!!) and lime juice which was a lovely combination of flavours.
Deborah and Peter used the Hairy Bikers’ recipe for their creamy, chicken korma with a few additions by Peter! This was served with poppadoms and garlic coriander naan breads.
Dessert was a mango, yogurt and lime juice lassi which was very refreshing. We were also given a chai teabag to try at home.
This was a lovely refreshing meal with interesting information from Peter and for some their first taste of food.
