Feast & Film night

Usually they smoke/bbq something and we bring dessert - tonight, however we're doing the cooking:

We had SO MUCH FUN doing it "the hard way" again! We went to the INdian store in the morning and restocked our spices which we haven't done in, like, forever (all the weird hard-to-find spieces like coriander seeds and fenugree and all those... dirt cheap, of course, because it was the Indian store), and then ground up all our favorites and ...

Foodgasm. Yep, that's about what it was :D Of course, we all feel like boa constrictors the day after a kill but hell it was worth it :)

SERIOUS yum. Since you're in the UK, I can highly recommend Pat Chapman's "The Restaurant Curry Cookbook" series.

In fact .... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pat-Chapmans-Curry-Bible-Restaurant/dp/034068562X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1249846101&sr=8-2

This is a more recent version, it seems. They rock.
