This month, Josie's Dragonfly auction winners entered Bob Arora's kitchen for a little preview of Sachins life.
Our head chef and owner, as you all know, loves to get involved with charities and the local community to give something back. Sachins, one of Newcastle’s favourite Punjabi and Indian restaurants donated a fabulous cookery class prize for the Josie Dragonfly Trust.
The Josie’s Dragonfly Trust makes a very real and positive difference to the lives of young cancer patients with limited time. They passionately believe in the importance of happy memories, working tirelessly to make them happen for young people and their families.
Head chef of Sachins, Bob Arora, can often be found out and about demonstrating the traditional methods of cooking and running exciting cooking classes with the likes of Alan Shearer, Steven Taylor and local North East customers spicing up his kitchen.
This time, after bidding for and winning a prize at a charity event, Naveen Vadhera and Suresh Jerath received a spicy prize from the Josie Dragonfly Trust – a cookery class for two at Sachins. Firstly they were handed their CCS chef jackets (obviously theyhad to look the part), and then in the kitchen they prepped with our very own Bob by their side. Cooking up a delicious chicken tikka starter, known as Vadrath Tikka, Bob showed the guys which particular fresh ingredients and spices go into making each dish.
For the main show, Naveen and Suresh gave it their all and even came up with their very own creation, the “can’t cook won’t cook” chicken curry. The final dish of the day was a Chicken Saag, which Naveen declared as his favourite.
