    1 Prepare ingredients at roomtemperature ratherthanusing themstraight

    fromthe fridge. Meat and fish should only be kept out long enough to remove

    the chill.

    2 Ensure any frozeningredients are completely defrosted before use.

    3 Greenvegetables require less time to cook thanotheringredients, so add

    themto the pot during the last half hourof cooking. Root vegetables take

    longerto cook thanmeat, so dice theminto smallerpieces up to 15mm.

    4 Whenusing dried beans orchickpeas, soak themovernight incold water

    and thendrain, rinse and boil for10minutes infresh waterbefore adding to

    the pot. Lentils do not need to be pre-soaked.

    5 All ingredients should be covered inliquid inside the pot to ensure they are

    cooked through.

    6 Whencooking a joint, ensure that it sits withinthe lowertwo-thirds of the

    pot and coverfully with liquid, turning once during cooking.

    7 Fish should only be cooked fora short amount of time, otherwise it will

    become very dry.

    8 Using hot waterorstock will help speed up the cooking process.

    9 Resist the temptationto lift the lid too oftenduring cooking as this allows

    moisture to escape and the temperature to drop.

    10 Always check that meat is cooked before serving use a food

    thermometerorinsert a skewerorknife into the meat to ensure the juices

    runclear.

    1 Spices are best used whenthey are at

    theirfreshest so buy small quantities and

    store theminairtight containers out of

    direct sunlight.

    2 Be careful whenfrying whole spices

    as they tend to burnquickly. Remove fromthe heat as

    soonas the aromas are released and continue to stiror

    shake to prevent overcooking.

    3 Fora royal dish fit fora Moghul emperoradd a handful

    of chopped cashews, almonds, dried apricots orgolden

    sultanas to yourfavourite dish before serving.

    4 If you want to add extra creamto yourdish to reduce

    the chilli heat, do so during the last 20 minutes of cooking.

    5 Ensure that you wash yourhands thoroughly after

    preparing chillies as they canaffect yourskin.

    6 Much of the populationof India is vegetarianand most

    of these recipes canbe adapted as such. Simply replace

    the meat w ith yourchoice of mixed vegetables such as

    potatoes, cauliflower, aubergine, parsnips, peas and

    tomatoes.

    7 Forauthentic, robust flavours,marinate raw meats

    such as poultry, lamb orbeef overnight inthe refrigerator

    with yourchoice of Pataks Curry Paste.

    What is Diwali?

    Diwali is the Hindu

    Festival of Lights, which

    marks the beginning of

    the lunarNew Year.

    Symbolically, Diwali

    represents anescape

    fromdarkness. The

    festival allows Hindus to

    focus uponthe true and

    positive values of life.

    Each day of the festival

    has particularrelevance

    according to a numberof

    myths, legends andbeliefs. Fireworks herald

    the beginning of the

    festivities and, at night,

    every building is lit with

    little lamps to welcome

    Lakshmi, the Goddess of

    wealth and prosperity.

    Where is it celebrated?Diwali is celebrated

    throughout India and by

    the Hindu community

    across the globe.

    Increasingly, people are

    becomingmore aware of

    Diwali and are joining in

    the festivities.

    Where does the word

    Diwali originate?

    The word Diwali

    originates fromthe

    ancient Indianword

    Deepavali - Deepa

    meaning light, and Avali,

    meaning a row, literally a

    row of lights.

    Celebrate with Pataks

    Diwali is verymuch the Hindu

    equivalent of Christmas and New

    Year. Food plays a huge part inthe

    celebrations as anoffering to the Gods

    and, of course, inentertaining for

    friends and family.

    Most Hindu families will have a shrine

    to the gods intheirhome, which

    becomes the centre of attention

    during Diwali. The cook of the family

    will carefully place food offerings in

    front of the gods onleaves orinsilver

    orotherspecial serving dishes.

    Dishes cooked by Hindus throughout

    Diwali are always vegetarianas they

    do not traditionally eat meat.

    The cook would oftenspend days

    preparing the food forDiwali,

    however, nowadays, preparing these

    dishes need not take a long time.

    Its not just savoury dishes which are

    prepared forDiwali, Indiandesserts

    play animportant part inthe

    celebrations too and it would not be

    unheard of forone family to prepare

    100 different recipes!

    Diwali is celebrated every yearin

    OctoberorNovember, but you can

    make any day a special occasionwith

    ourtruly authentic Indianfeast forall

    yourfamily and friends to enjoy.
