We were connected with Chula - full name Chulalaxana Varanand Chudadhuj - through a very helpful and witty man at the Anglo-Thai Society, who, upon proposing Chula, offered, ‘If not right, I can try and seek out another innocent potential victim.’
She was more than right: exquisitely presented and very good fun. As soon as our coats were removed we were offered a glass of Moët, which we just managed to delay until the cooking was finished. Luckily that was not long, because this curry is incredibly speedy to make. With the ingredients ready laid out, it took under 15 minutes.
