"In the Punjab, there are three things men can do;
they can become farmers, they can join the army, or they can leave the country.
I chose the last option!"
Chef Gurpreet came in to direct our class today. This was a large undertaking of several dishes in large quantities. We were tackling an Indian buffet!
This was really the first time we worked in huge quantities, I divided the samosa dough in half and wrestled with the huge ball and passed the other half onto a classmate. Across the class huge batches of meat were being browned, a massive pot of rice was steaming and a group was making chai in a stock pot.
Our chef was quite entertaining and in all places at once, as soon as you realized you had a question or needed input - there he was!
Everyone hard at work!

Chapati making

End product! Great lunch, great guest chef, great...wait a minute! Is that fresh ginger julienne garnishing that dish?? IT IS!
I rest my case. Good night!
Mmmmm. Ginger!
