Spec me a curry menu

[DcD]

A friend of mine is moving to Pakistani in December, so all our group are going round to his place for a sort of 'farewell curry night'.

Myself and another friend are doing the cooking - we've never really cooked Indian food before. The host is making a chicken biryani, so we now need to make for about 10 people;

2 wet curries, 1 hot & 1 mild.
A few sides that accompany the above?
Assorted starters?
Poppadums will be bought before hand and warmed in the oven.
Want to try making some naan bread - will this actually work without a tandoor?

Desserts are being made by the host's wife - so we don't need to worry about that.

Let the ideas flow!

Additionally, don't buy poppadoms, just buy the "ready to fry" pappad and fry in oil, they're so much better.

Presumably in "mixed starters" you'll do bhajis and samosas at a minimum so you'll have the pan of oil anyway.

Thanks for the link. We did discuss doing bhajis and frying poppadoms properly, but as it's someone else's house I didn't really want to stink their place out with the smell of hot oil - plus it's a faff.
