Foodbuzz 24,24,24:South Indian Flavours to spice up the UK
24 Meals, 24 Hours, 24 Blogs is a global blogging event showcased by Foodbuzz.
This Incredible event brings together the bloggers around the world by celebrating real food in way they would like to showcase their culture, their food and most importantly having fun at the same time.
I wanted to show how life away from home India is like, how we celebrate and enjoy our time in UK. As we are far away, its hard to get used to celebrate without your family near you, Friends are all we got in UK. Help, Support, Fun, everything its with friends in UK.
So any event in our community is celebrated with friends or colleagues at work. That makes my world here in UK.
When foodbuzz gave me this opportunity to have a party, I wanted to show how we have parties here in UK. We friends try to pool in togetether for cooking any event, helping throughout to make any party more fun loving then just spending most of your time in the kitchen trying to make all the dishes alone.
When I asked my friends, they readily showed great enthusiasm and here we are having time of our life in UK.
As Autumn has already made its way to the UK and showing its true colours in our neck of woods, I was delighted then Food buzz gave me this opportunity to organise a food event of my choice. It was amazing to see my Indian Community Friends in UK come together to enjoy @ home with fun & food.
I chose Flavours of South India as our theme and oh boy!what a blast it turned out to be..
Great fun and amazing food to spice up our otherwise dull weekend.
My unique touch to this event was to involve friends from all over UK, coming from different states back in India come together to celebrate n spice up our saturday evening.
24 dishes to be cooked tradtionally from four different states of South India - Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala.
To select an apt menu for this event took me a long time but it was an amazing collection.
The menu looked like this on the day:
When you have 24 dishes plus mango lassi and Kulfi( Indian Ice cream to gorge on..) My large dinner table didn’t have place to accomodate all of them….
Our Saturday Feast :
Andhra dishes are so spicy and so flavourful that you will be just bowled over with the dishes we choose .
Tamil Nadu Dishes: We had Rice cakes with lentil soup, Amazing combo, can be eaten as breakfast as well.
I choose different flavours of spices, some being very spicy and some quite mild.
Karnataka Dishes:
Here again, we choose some authentic dishes like bisibeli bath, lemon rice to really spice up any dull day
Kerala Dishes: Oh yes.. My favourite of all
Busy Digging in
After that feast, it was time to dance…. Oh boy what fun we had….
One of the best times ever
Last look at the feast again:
Thank you Foodbuzz and dear friends for makin this event a huge success..
Without your help I wouldn’t have organised such an elaborate feast with fun ….
