A little Indian food demonstration.

Now, should you find yourselves in Wiltshire on November the 5th and not at a firework display, here is something for you. My alter ego, Calcutta Scarlet (which is the name of my catering company) is giving an Indian food demonstration as part of an evening in aid of the Hope Foundation, an organisation which works with vulnerable children in Kolkata, India. Come one, come all. Here's a link to their site...http://www.thehopefoundation.org.uk/

And here are some pictures of my very own Indian food, largely North Indian dishes, these. There's masoor dal ( a red lentil curry), aloo paalak (potato and spinach curry), a perky little salad of onion. red chilli, lime juice, roasted cumin (jheera) seeds and nigella seeds (kalonji), a naan bread, a few strips of cucmber and a hot mixed vegetable achaar -- a preserved pickle. Off camera, I had a raita, which is a cooling relish or dip of yoghurt with a little cucumber plus some fresh mint on this particular day. You like?
