Chicken Korma, Tiramisu for dessert? What else?

[QS]

I am having a dinner party (kitchen supper)on saturday.
I am planning on serving a chicken korma with rice and naan bread.

I am stuck for a delicious dessert, and I am beginning to think Tiramisu might not go well together with Korma....

I am also keen on black forest roulade. like this

But am not sure.....

Can you please help me and either suggest a dessert suitable after Korma, or a main course, to go with either Tiramisu or Black Forest Roulade?

Well Chicken Korma and Tiramisu are two of my favourite things to eat so I would be totally chuffed at that menu, in fact, can I come?

On the other hand, if you were looking at it with a critical 'come dine with me' eye, you might think it was a bit too creamy to have both of those things together.

Something fruity and refreshing instead - sorbet/granita? Or a compromise of citrus cheesecake or eton mess?

would say best to go with fruit salad/fruit type thing, wouldn't want anything too heavy after korma. Do you have an indian recipe book to see what desserts are usual, prob will go best? My sis bought some indian 'sweets' to have with indian theme dinner party and they were great ( although would need to be in city/place wi great deli, to be able to buy)

I agree, it's quite a creamy menu.

How about something lemony like lemon tart or lemon posset with raspberries?

(Lemon posset is super easy but looks good served in pretty little glasses)

Indian sweets are not to everyone's taste...

I cook Indian food all the time, however i do not like Indian puddings.

I would not serve Tiramisu, as i think Korma is cloyingly sweet and so is tiramisu, very similar texture.

I agree with someone who said something citrus sharp. i would do a key lime pie or something. Or lemon posset served with little biscuits perhaps.

Or, peach melba. bake some peaches in the oven with some brown sugar. Make a raspberry coulis with raspberries, icing sugar, drop of water in a blender, then sieve. Serve with good shop vanilla ice cream.

OOh x posts re posset

And for starter do the poppadums and chutney thing they do in Indian takeaways - always goes down well with my mates, and they can sit there munching on poppadums quite relexedly whislt you cook rice/naan bread etc.

what about banana pancakes? served with ice cream and chocolate sauce.

Hmm, i don't think I would do anything chocolate either, I think it clashes with curry.

Mmmmm black forest roulade sounds delish. I'd do that and a Thai Green Curry - Chicken or Thai Red curry - Duck.

Or CTM with a lemon and lime souffle? Or thinly sliced pineapple marinaded in the fridge for an hour with orange juice and mint served with homemade or G and B vanilla ice cream.

Ooh marinated pineapple sounds perfect.

I am not too keen on indian puddings, I find them too sweet and sticky. And where I live, I cant go and buy them either, everything will have to be totally from scratch.

I agree, the korma is rather heavy, and creamy.

I am now thinking a thai red curry. Salmon curry in fact.... ??

Or, I also love Jamie Olivers moroccan fish on couscous, from his Ministry of Food. I think either dessert will go with that, as it is light and tangy!

I am not so good with citrusy puddings!

I am no good with puddings at all. But posset I can do, and the peach melba thing. Or i do that Nigel Slater thing, chop up chocolate bars and posh chocs, arrange selection plate and serve with ice cream. Or Nigella hot salty chocolate peanut sauce with ice cream.

If you have got Nigella feast she has a GORGEOUS Tunisian Rose harrissa stew, sevred with lamb meatballs, which I heartily recommend.

I think I have changed my mind alltogether, and will cook Goulage Soup with freshly made bread. It is a really hearty automny soup, with beef, red peppers, potatoes, onion, tomatoe based.
And Tiramisu for pudding. I make a mean tiramisu.

There is a really nice Tiramisu in Nigella's new Kitchen book, made with Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur) and chopped hazelnuts - am very temopted to make that.

I will check nigellas website.

Ice cream, something creamy & not too strong tasting, with super biscuits

I would still go with the korma and use Greek yogurt instead of cream (I can't eat cream anyway) and then do a citrus sorbet for dessert.

Thre is an Indian restaurant that we go to from work at Christmas and they do a fabulous mango lassi whcih goes down really well after the meal. I prefer it to having a dessert.

Maybe I could do a citrus and raspberry sorbet (shop bought) and add red currants ?

I love korma and tiramisu but I don't think I could manage both in the same meal without a bit of self-loathing.

Jamie Oliver has a lovely pineapple with mint sugar recipe - woud be lovely and refreshing.

QS I served this lemon and ginger terrine last night after a creamy curry and it was delicious! (If I say so myself). The sharpness of the lemon and the ginger against the creaminess worked really well. It was a doddle to make, i made it whilst hungover on sunday morning.

notasize10, it looks and sounds mouthwatering. However, I cannot even get greek youghurt in this godforsaken place, let along stem ginger in syrup....

Oh no! I thought my provincial town in the North East wasbad enough- no waitrose within 50 miles!
