Yesterday was a hangover day meaning I had zero interest in cooking so I ordered a takeaway from the Rupee room. Knowing how fussy they are, I ordered chicken korma's for the children, along with boiled rice and garlic naan breads. Nine-year-old girl saw the food being delivered and asked 'what did you order?' 'Indian' I replied. 'Then I'm not eating it' she spat and stomped out of the room.
'Is it pizza?' asked four-year-old boy. 'No, it's yummy rice and sauce' I told him. 'Then I'm not eating it!' he lisped.
'Everyone come and sit down and eat' I shouted. They grudgingly obeyed. Nine-year-old girl screwed up her face and tasted the korma. 'Yummy!' she declared and minutes later was asking for seconds.
Four-year-old boy flatly refused to taste his food, despite threats, bribes, promises, tears and raised voices. Eventually I managed to get him to agree to just taste a tiny dot on his tongue which resulted in him declaring 'ooooh it's delicious' and eating half of what was in his bowl.
Korma is always a winner, although personally it's so bland I can't see the point.
I shall shortly head to Carrefour to do some shopping for the week. RAK Carrefour is so utterly awful, particularly at the weekends when it is filled with hoards of single men who visit it with the express reason of staring at ladeeees, that I'm heading into Mirdif in Dubai instead (and perhaps a little retail therapy and a nice cup of coffee...ah, who am I kidding? I will have five children with me....)

Claire, I don't know if you can find it there but at Lulu here they have those curry sauces in a jar and the korma one is easy peasy. All you need is chicken breasts and cream I think. It cooks in minutes and you just add rice. Its great for a last minute dinner.
