Practice Run

I'm not a big fan of Rick Stein, but I am a big fan of the food he is cooking at the moment. So with family coming to stay this weekend, I bought his book and started planning an Indian feast. I now also have two Indian friends coming for dinner, so no pressure there then. Hence the need for a practice run. This is Chicken Vindail. Unfortunately they are not getting this tomorrow, because it was actually quite tasty. Luckily I read somewhere though that most people need to half the amount of chilli powder in his recipes and even after following this tip it was about as hot as I could take it.
