When I got an email from Urvashi AKA
Gujertai Girl asking me to join her in the
nomnomnom challenge, a master chef competition for food bloggers, I was excited and nervous at the same time. I never had my food judged by professional chefs but I said yes straight away. We never met each other but we knew that each other's passion for Gujerati food will be the winning formulae.
We designed the menu over the phone and relied on each other to deliver the final product. Since Magimix was one of the sponsors we had to use the machine in the preparation of the dishes, we used it to blitz the peanut filling for the stuffed baby aubergines and the green coriander chutney that was served with the seasonal chaat.
Nothing could have prepared me for the day and once it started,time flew by and before we knew it,it was time to dish up and serve the food. Thanks to
Cookery School for their help whilst cooking the dishes, you guys were fantastic on the day.
