A Secret Santa day really went well at my work, with lots of fun games and food for 50 staff, it was a pleasure for me to provide a buffet lunch which included

• Samosas
• Pakoras
• Chickpeas curry
• Jeera Chicken
• Variety of sandwiches
• sausage rolls and other nibbles

Here are some photos:

• Starters:
  Pakoras(onion bhajis) (no garlic)
  Freshly made Vegetarian Samosas (no garlic)
  Mango Chutney, Fresh Mint/yogurt chutney with fresh coriander, Chilli sauce
  Freshly made Lamb Samosas

• Main Meal Buffet
  Chickpeas and Potatoes, slowly cooked with authentic spices (medium hot)
  Chicken Jelfrezi ( Low to Medium) plus ( dish made with no garlic for one person)  Lamb Bhuna North Indian dish noted for its spices and awesome taste- medium plus (dish made with no garlic for one person)

• Bread:
  Tandoori Nan bread

Dear Ravi and family

Thank you for providing a wonderful meal for my son’s 21st. All the dishes were excellent and enjoyed by everyone who attended the party. Tom took the leftovers back to uni and had the additional enjoyment of them over the following few days.”
