Indian street food night

Apologies for the unfilled pani puri picture, on the night there is never enough time to take photos of the finished product

Falooda jelly, vermicelli and tukmuria seeds with rose syrup

Our last supper club was another fantastic night with lovely guests. We can always tell that the guests are enjoying themselves when there is laughter coming from the lounge.  I enjoy cooking street food but did not think it would be so time consuming. Each dish had to be assembled just before being sent out which meant a chaotic kitchen on the night. But thanks to my friend Amy, all the dishes went out on time. I decided to make hot dosas in front of the guests who did not mind waiting for their dosas. As always there are no great photos of mine of the night but my fellow guests have written a review which you can read.

My one guest Emma is starting her own business of home made cakes, her review can be read here. Another review by Laura Piper from stv can be found here 
I wont be supper clubbing in July, the next supper club date will be late August or September due to cooking commitments. I'll be working with the World Kitchen in Leith catering at the Big Tent festival for volunteers and artists. We will be feeding over 150 people at one seating. I have also been accepted to to take part in the Nomnomnom competition. This is a fun competition for food bloggers and I have teamed up with Urvashi from The Botanical Baker. I'm excited and nervous at the same time but I'm going to have fun anyway.
