Today's guest, Anna Ayling, has a unique perspective on hospitality through raising a family and her mission work in Japan and Wales. Join us as she discusses the British take on Indian food, the importance of utilizing the oven and freezer in your prep, and the 80/20 cleaning rule that will speed up getting ready for guests. You'll hear Anna's thoughts on laying out clear expectations for guests, inviting people into your everyday life, and how formality creates distance. Stay tuned to hear all about her perfect recipe organization system! We're so glad you're here!
Mary Berry's Quick Chicken Curry
Serve with:
Poppadoms, naan bread, chapati, or pooris
Pavlova or sorbet
Original recipe: Mary Berry Quick & Easy Chicken Curry Recipe (thehappyfoodie.co.uk)
The oven version that I sometimes used is below, and it also includes the stove top/hob version all on one page.
From Anna: If you can't get hold of poppadoms (or sometimes poppadums), then you could make naan bread
chapati
or pooris. I sometimes make the latter and received a recipe from a lovely chef we met on our honeymoon in Mauritius. I've typed this up and attached this. Also, https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/ is a great resource for recipes!
