On the menu is a vegan curry meal including Aubergine and Chickpeas with basmati rice and side dishes of chapati, raita and cabbage. You are most welcome to join in and cook the whole meal or just parts of the meal and the ingredients are listed below. Prepare ahead of time by making the chapati dough and collecting the ingredients together.

Chapati dough

Mix the wholemeal and plain wheat flour together with the salt. Add the oil and then enough hot water until the dough comes together. Knead for 8-10 minutes on a floured worksurface, or in a mixer with a hook for dough. Put the dough into a bowl with a lid or wrap it in wax paper. Depending on when you make the dough, you can store it in the fridge but take it out about an hour before the cooking session begins.

The session will start at 6 o'clock with the meal ready to eat before 7 o'clock. The ingredients below are for 2 people but please feel free to double up to make a meal for 4.
