I have to be honest, Indian subcontinent food is my favourite food of all. In my family, we eat more home cooked Indian food than anything else. I love cooking it and eating it. Simple as that really. My children often caused a small furore with their chilli eating while we were travelling. People were so surprised to see such young children adore spice so much. But if you grew up on dal and rice instead of bangers and mash, it's not that surprising really.
So we've been enjoying lots of lovely recipe testing in our house in preparation for thali night. And here it is. The first draft of the menu...
Cauliflower & chard pakoras
Paneer & cashew koftas in yoghurt curry
Kali daal (creamy black lentils)
Baigan ka bharta (roasted aubergine mash)
Pappu dosaki (dudhi gourd with channa :)
Stir fried lotus root
All served on a banana leaf, with steamed rice, salad and pickles.
Well all that's certainly made me hungry! The evening is now fully booked, but if it goes well, we could be looking at v2....
