It's been almost a week since I went to Sheryl's party on Saturday night so I thought I would post the pictures of the magnificent gastronomic experience. I love Indian food (granted it's not hot) and homemade Indian food is always wonderful. There was quite a large spread to enjoy. I had been nibbling all day but come dinner time I was starving.
 Roti to soak up that yummy curry
 Rice with chicken and cashew  Chickpea and potato curry - my favourite.  Lamb curry  Spinach dish. I don't know how this is made but I like it. I'm getting the recipe for this along with the chickpea curry.
 Tomato chutney
 Cucumber to cool and cleanse the palate. I was so overcome with excitement upon seeing the dessert that I forgot to take a picture of it.... that night. But Sheryl gifted us with a plate of the leftovers yesterday so I have a few shots of that.
 Passionfruit cheesecake made by Sheryl's sister-in-law Shalini. I loved this so much I just had to have a second helping.
 Front shot of chocolate cake. You can mostly see the thick ganache. I actually prefer a creamier, fluffier icing on a cake. I found this ganache had a slightly rubbery taste. Not sure why. I mean it was still tasty but just a little strange though it was stranger the second time around almost a week later so maybe the cake doesn't keep that well. The rest of the cake was wonderfully dense and not to sweet, though I'm definitely not opposed to a sickeningly rich chocolate cake. Despite the above analysis it was delicious. I guess I just have high standards for chocolate.
The End. Don't you wish you were there?
