Ok…here we go…OUR FIRST COOK!!!
The dish we made today (1st November 2008) was Chicken Tikka Masala
It was very mouth watering, and it left a taste behing – and it’s a good one! We did very good for a first time. The dish was mostly chicken and tomato, and a lot of herbs – which is why it left a taste behind. I would recommend this to a first-timer. I would rate this 4/5. If you have the DS software, in the notes section we put ‘Good for a first time Leaves a taste behind’
I’m sure you wanna know how to make it…
