My First Supper Club

Last Saturday, me and my friend Sabra hosted our first supper club together. We created recipes that blended Indian and Mexican food (my two favs!) and served 5 courses to 15 guests. It was exciting to come up with these recipes because the two cuisines have so much crossover and they complement each other really well.

Me and Sabes

It was a bit of a family affair with three of my most special friends - Alana, Brian and Busayo helping me and Sabes in the kitchen. I don't think we could have done it or had as much fun without them - love you guys:)

Most awesome (and cutest) kitchen crew ever!

Tables set before everyone arrived

Our menu

A few of the dishes from the dinner appear in previous posts, but were modified with a couple Mexican elements for the menu.

Papri Chaat with pico de gallo and avocado

Chaat has this effect on me too!

Sambar with sour cream and lime

Paneer and swiss chard blue corn enchilada, topped with Sabra's secret mole sauce & curried mashed potato and peas enchilada, topped with shahi cashew sauce - served with bowls of radish raita on the side

Spinach/beet salad topped with cotija cheese and dressing of avocado, lime and fried mustard seed, curry leaf and dried red chili

For dessert we had Indian rice pudding and sweet black bean cake with candied ginger and cumin on top. Sadly no picture but imagine sweet rice and beans!

At the end we gave everyone spice packs of chaat masala and Sabra's secret mole mixture to take home.

Me and Sabes after the meal - yeah we did it!

We're already talking about the next one - can't wait!

Thanks to Alana and Sheng for taking photos and our guests for cleaning their plates, xo.
