Ethos Public Relations Manchester

How to celebrate National Curry Week in style!

by Christina

To celebrate National Curry Week (21-27 November 2010), in true Ethos public relations style, we organised a fantastic feast of delicious authentic Indian cuisine to share.

National Curry Week started in 1998 to promote the cuisine and to raise funds for charities concentrating on hunger, malnourishment and poverty. During the week, curry lovers can get out and visit their local curry houses, but we decided to bring our homemade curry feast into the office!

Sarah was again our key organiser, and devised an inspired menu made up of Dahl, vegetable pakoras and onions bhajis to start, chicken tikka masala and aloo gobi for main and pineapple with bashed-up mint sugar and natural yogurt for dessert.

We were all given our preferred choice of dish to prepare and got to work! Sean and Shaun prepared the Dahl, pakoras and bhajis, I was responsible for the chicken tikka masala, while Sarah set to work on the Aloo Gobi and Rob made the pineapple with bashed-up mint sugar!

We also brought in poppadoms and mango chutney, and Rob surprised us all with some fabulous home-made Nann breads – they were delicious!

As our authentic Curry Banquet began, the Ethos public relations office was filled with a delightful aroma of mixed herbs and spices. Sean even managed to purchase a few nice cold Cobra beers for us all, which are specially brewed with less bubbles – to be the perfect accompaniment to such delicious Indian cuisine.

The verdict – it was a culinary delight yet again!! The Ethos public relations team excelled!

What’s next you may well ask? Well, all attention now goes on the next banquet, to celebrate the Chinese New Year - the year of the rabbit - in March 2011!
