- MAKE UP AND FOOD -
A girl's two best friends! When Make up and food come together, it's always a winning combination.
Was a pleasure to help with Anita Pillai's first Masterclass. The only thing more beautiful than our vintage afternoon tea crockery were the models made up by Anita! ūüėÖūüėÖ

- BREAKFAST ON SET -
So, we got a call last night from a Bollywood production company looking for Breakfast for the crew for this morning!
Of course, we obliged. But it wasn't as glamourous as it looks on screen! Freezing in an open airfield, the actors and the whole crew work long hours with lots to do. Really glad to be able to see "behind the scenes" and appreciate the hard work these guys do.
... Showbiz isn't easy folks, but some warm yummy breakfast to start the day from Neelu's Kitchen definitely helps ūüėäūüėČūü§ó

- LADOOS -
When life gives you seeds...you make ladoos ūüėúūüėč
As promised, here's the recipe for til ke ladoo (sesame seed sugar balls)
... 400g sesame seeds 400g melon seeds 500g khoya (reduced dry milk) 500g sugar
Blast the sesame seeds and melon seeds in a NutriBullet or similar blender. Once powdered, lightly fry in an oil free pan over low heat. When the seeds start to brown, set aside.
Blast the sugar in blender until powered. Set aside.
Warm the khoya in the microwave for approximately 4 minutes so it becomes a paste like consistency.
Add the seeds and sugar to the khoya paste and mix really well. Once everything is nicely mixed, make into small balls by rolling the mixture in your hands.
And voila, ready to eat! I eat mine with tea. Having one now....
Let me know how you get on!
Love Neelu

A lot of our customers have concerns that the food served will not be hot during the buffet.
Sharing a picture of a previous event to show the chafing dishes we use. These keep the food hot for upto 4 hours. And they are aesthetically pleasing too!
... So, dears...have no fears...we serve it HOT ūü§óūüėÖ

- PUNJABI TADKA -
Cooking with my punjabi roots tonight, Kadi (pronounced kari/curry) with a splash of red chilli oil.
Traditionally made using soured yogurt, this dish is a good alternative for daal/chole when serving for guests. The gram flour pakoras add a little crunch. Eat with jeera rice for best combination!
... Kadi always makes me think where the western world adopted the word 'curry' for Indian food from? Does anyone have the answer for me?? Because this is the ONLY dish that's close to the name coined. ūü§Ēūü§Ēūü§Ē
