Curry Chat and Crisps

I have a friend who I have known for a good few years ,we met when her daughter Olivia joined Rainbows , Rainbows is the youngest section of the girl guiding movement in England 
At the time I was the unit leader
Tiffany and I got on well and she was the lady that I entrusted my daughters wedding dress adjustments to .
We lost touch for a number of years albeit for intermittent Facebook contact  This all changed when Tiffany moved back into her home on the same road that I live on.
 
Last nights activities came about when I discovered that Tif was a great Curry maker I asked her to teach me I provided the meat and dessert well half the dessert
The following photographs shows our evening .
 

I arrived to an organised layout of ingredients  looked like the set for a cookery show

 
 
 
Serious stuff first, what I omitted was the mug of tea I had first Honest
 
Tricky stuff my first instruction was to stir the onions ,wine in hand this was passed
 
Tiffany then did something totally alien to me She followed a recipe
 
Next came the careful addition of spices, I was not trusted for this part so I carried on drinking  
 
Next the greenery wow the fragrance entering my nose was amazing
 
Oh heck now I had to add the tomatoes whilst stirring and trying to drink my wine that was getting warm and warm Rose is never good
 
 
 
The Chef needed to have a quick look and again the fragrance wafted through the room
 
 
The last part was to add the Coriander
 
Rice Cooked best plates and bowls out
 
Look at the rich colour (color for my American readers)
 
Finally on the plate
 
The Chef and Sous Chef ready to tuck in
 
 
Well I would like to say thank you to Tiffany and whilst having lots of fun I have genuinely got the bug for making my own curry My Turn next
