Curry

Turning up to someone else's house by surprise and cooking them a curry is such a bloody good idea. Especially when there's a bunch of you and you're all single and it's Valentine's Day. Curries are actually remarkably simple to make, but the important part is to use a ready made sauce (Bhuna, Jalfrezi, Saag) and add crushed cashew nuts to the sauce so as to thicken it and simultaneously hide the oiliness of the sauce. Lime pickle, it almost goes without saying, is a must.
