Second course - aloo chat.

13:52:18
Third course - cauliflower samosa.

This is actually Chie's fourth course, they got these the wrong way round (and I didn't get a picture of mine after we swapped).

14:21:11
Fifth course - paneer tikka.

Sixth course - bharli vangi (an aubergine dish) with various accompaniments.

The Hyderabadi daal was good - that's a Scotch bonnet on top, which we chose not to eat.

15:08:26
Seventh course - rose bappa doi.

Rather unglamorously on the number 2 bus on the way back.

We picked up Erika from nursery together today, which was nice for a change.
