Super chef Papa Dave took charge in the kitchen on Saturday.
Papa and his team of enthusiastic kids were tasked with cooking luch for our family of 130 children - that all our own kids living at Happy House plus our scholarship students who come in to join in the Saturday activities,
Chicken curry was Papa's choice. Everyone loves their kuku (chicken), but curry is not something they would normally have.
Mama had roasted the chickens on Friday, something totally new to Auntie Phyllis and Auntie Esther. They would traditionally boil chicken, but were delighted with the look and flavour of roast meant.
Once cooked the chicken were kept cold until needed, when the chicken was taken off the bone ready to be added to the curry - again a different for our cooks who would add it on the bone.
The kids prepped up a mountain of vegetables, Auntie Esther and Mercy got the onions and garlic started in a surfuria in the outside oven, while Papa and his team got the flavourings ready to add.
Papa explained everything as he went a long in his step-by-step guide to make a simple Indian curry.
By lunchtime, the curry and rice was ready for our hungry kids and the hot and tasty treat went down a treat!
