Help - I am doing a show for a group of East Indian ladies and they have requested something hot and spicy - does anyone have any good recipe ideas?
 
On the Sizzling Coconut Shrimp Cakes - just add extra Cayenne pepper and go heavy on the Red Thai Curry Paste and Chinese Hot Mustard and you'll have a very happy group of East Indian ladies!!
 
Hi there! As a Pampered Chef consultant, I have a few expert suggestions for you when it comes to hot and spicy Indian recipes for a group. One of my go-to recipes is our Spicy Chicken Curry made with our Curry Rub and served over rice. It's a crowd-pleaser and can easily be adjusted to your desired level of spiciness. Another option is our Tandoori Chicken Skewers, made with our Tandoori Rub and served with a cooling cucumber raita dip. And for a vegetarian option, our Spicy Chickpea Curry is always a hit. I hope these ideas help and good luck with your show!
