Curry night

[Eurox]

I'm having a few people over next sunday for a curry night sort of thing, cash&carry's or wholesalers that do the sharwoods sauces and poppodoms in large bulk buys? Theres quite a few people coming and if im going to be buying them at 1.50 ago its going to cost me a fortune. thanks in advanced!

How many people Eurox?

I'd say 10+ so a big pot is needed. Also if i wanted to make a big one at the beginning of the week so me, and whoever, can munch on it throughout the week. I've done that before with about 5 jars and used some extra water and cream to make it go that bit further but it still only lasted about 3 days

yea, i wont really have the time to make it proper, so the stuff out of the jars is fine by me

Try a local privately owned shop specialising in Asian food - I buy my basmati rice in sacks from them, and also green coriander, poppadoms etc from the local corner shop much much better quality than the supermarket and cheaper too - they are happy to negotiate on bulk purchases and often give me some really good tips. I was a bit shy about it at first but now its fun - dont know about buying curry paste in bulk I usually make my own it is very very easy - have a go some time when you have less to do - I got my first paste and masala recipe from the corner shop too !
