A Sensory Journey With The Great Indian Food Feast




The Great Indian Food Feast is a gastronomic adventure crafted by two of Britain’s most exciting spice chefs; thrice award winning Pub Curry Chef of the Year Indunil Sanchi, Head Chef at The Noel Arms Hotel, Chipping Campden and cookbook author and pop up restaurateur Ivor Peters aka The Urban Rajah.

Spinning diners through a sensory journey of regional Indian food, the Great Indian Food Feast celebrates Britain’s love for curry and introduces dishes from the various corners of the Indian subcontinent, family recipes featured in the Urban Rajah’s Curry Memoirs and from Indunil’s vast recipe repository.


Your journey begins with mouth watering streetfood dishes from across the subcontinent, followed by hard to find gourmet recipes from across India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan’s regions. Each recipe will transport its diners to an evocative moment shaped over decades and scented by the streets, beaches and countryside of this sprawling diaspora. Delicately spiced chicken from Ceylon, tangy prawns from Kerala, earthy and tender lamb from Sindh and tastes from the Punjab and Rajahstan await foodies in this feast exploration of Asia.

Married with carefully paired beers and wine from around the world guests will be motivated to tear up the take-away menu and upgrade their taste buds to authentic food from the Great Indian Food Feast. The Great Indian Food Feast is an oratory experience as well as a gastronomic one, as the Urban Rajah whisks diners through a collection of personal stories, a short history of Indian food, spice pairing and little known quirky facts and miscellany behind Britain’s best loved cuisine…a short quiz with prizes rewards the most attentive listeners!

The evening takes a hands-on approach, as guests are also given an opportunity to assist Indunil in an opulent table-side dessert demonstration, which is then devoured by fellow sweet toothed diners.

The Great Indian Food Feast is a transformational experience, as a percentage of the evening’s funds will be donated to IID supporting education and healthcare projects for children and helping families living in India’s slums and International Justice Mission helping to liberate those trapped in the human trafficking chain.

A little bite about Indunil Sanchi:


Always receptive to new ideas and potential recipes, Indy believes The Great Indian Food Feast provides the ideal means for people to learn more about the Indian sub-continent and its vast culinary repertoire.  On offer is not only the chance to sample some of Indy’s finest dishes - such as his award winning Sri Lankan black lamb and Ceylon seafood curries - but also the opportunity to take part in masterclasses and learn how to prepare such delicious meals at home.  Indy hails from Sri Lanka and is Head Chef at the Noel Arms Hotel and three-time award winning Pub Chef of the Year for 2011, 2012 and 2013.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
