Help needed for a Nepali buffet

Thanks

The soup was great, I cooked it in the morning & kept it hot in the slow cooker during lunch. So I had time to enjoy the day with everyone as the rest of the food was mainly cold buffet.
People were a little nervous to try it at at first and nearly all declined, until one of the twins tried it and loved it. Everyone was very impressed and the recipe has been copied by many.!

Just an update for you on the rest of the scouts still in Nepal - They are now waiting for good weather for the last push to the summit. www.scoutsoneverest.org.uk

Thanks again ' The family Robinson' :o)

Help needed for a Nepali buffet

Help

My boys will be back from Everst base camp on the 7th May, after 6 weeks climbing, trekking & helping a local school ( www.scoutsoneverest.co.uk )
We are having a family gathering celebrating their acheivements when they return.

I would love to serve a few items of traditional Nepali food, but most I have found need to be fried or served hot. I would like the dishes to be a healthy 9if possible) & to be able to prepare most of the food the day before.

Any ideas?

How do I make cordial with all this fruit!!

I have an allotment full of fruit.

We froze most of it last year and made jam to raise funds for my Twins (www.scoutsoneverest.co.uk) Made Rumtopf, puds, smoothies, and even more jam.

What i would really like to make is a cordial or concerntate I can add to flavour water.

Does anyone have a recipe?

Dinner crisis - Too tired to go out, didn't go shopping, having company, help!

Dependant on what you have in your cupoards really. if you have tomatoes (tin or fresh) then a veggie pasta dish is easy. You could always layer the eggplant, cooked pasta & tomato sauce in a dish & oven bake - cover top with cheese & bread crumbs. (i have used crisps & pretzels crackers once!)

Leaving you time with your guests while its in the oven & not too much effort.

My emergency dessert is:
Put fruit, jam or syrup in greased bowl. (2pint)
Mix together 4oz self raising flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, 4oz butter, 4oz sugar (1/2 cups in USA i think) , 2 eggs & pinch salt.
Pace on top of fruit , jam etc
Cover & microwave for about 5 mins till done
serve with cream, ice cream, or custard ....

What ever you do, I am sure they will just be happy to see you!

Have a lovely evening :o)
