Curry and Pie

I was going to take a photo of the Indian feast that I made for friends on Saturday night but my husband couldn't find the camera. It was a good thing I didn't really as the overall visual effect was like a sea of beige, in the way that the weekly junk food intake of one of Gillian McKeith's victims resembles when laid out on a table. But despite its brown hues, the food went down very well: aubergine curry with ground almonds and coconut, dhal, bombay potatoes, chickpea and spinach curry, pilau rice and home-made bhajis! Made far too much, as usual, but we still felt quite virtuous as it was vegetarian. Sadly our healthy glow didn't last long as Sunday dinner consisted of Corsican wild boar terrine followed by a large game pie (with the tantalizing warning 'may contain lead shot' printed on the box) and then plum crumble. Bloody nice though.
