Making a Curry...

Tonight I am making a Curry for a load of mates.

Usually I am quite good at cooking but have never cooked for this many people so am worried about messing up, also never cooked a curry!

Pun: Recipe for disaster!

This is the list of ingredients I have been given via email:

tub of natural yogurt and a
half a cucumber
1 bag of white, normal rice, probs 500gms.
3 tins of chopped tomatoes
3 onions
2 small chilli peppers (green)
3 Cloves of Garlic
Curry paste, 1 madras and 1 Bhuna
naan bread-not loads cus not everyone likes it.
Some chicken. -use ** own judgment

I dont think that is enough for 7 people, espescially 500g of rice! Can anybody rectify my friends numptiness on measures.

Also any tips, don't want it to be too watery so whats the best way to make sure it stays relatively thick?

Cheers,

Chris

I always make the mistake of making too much rice.

I find 125g per person works out about right.

Oh right.

Cheers

EDIT - Any missing ingredients?

Just buy a decent sauce tbh

I have perfected bolognese sauce and it tastes about 100000x better than jar stuff.

I was under strict orders to buy the paste and would have been killed otherwise.

My friend even went to the extent of getting her colleague on the phone to tell me where to find the paste in Tesco :eek:

.

Should taste good (i hope...)

I wanna be like Floyd so am going to drink all the wine whilst cooking!

The curry and wine are not to be had at the same time.

The wine is to be enjoyed prior to the feasting!

All that lot was under £20 too.

The food came to about £11! Wine £4 and Cobras £5.

Hi guys. Just wanna say thanks.

It was bloomin' DELICIOUS!

Even my mate who eats lots of currys said it was great!

The parents are demanding I make them some soon, lol.
