Indian themed buffet ideas please

[CharlieAlphaKiloEcho]

I am hosting the family for boxing day and was thinking that an indian style buffet would make a nice change from the usual turkey, sausage rolls etc.

We don't do turkey so there won't be leftover turkey curry :)

I am after some of your favourite tried and tested recipes please?

I need to make a standard chicken Korma as it's my mums favourite dish and child friendly too.

I was thinking of 2-3 different types of main dishes that I'd like to be fairly different from each other.

I will also make dhal and flatbreads. Any other side dish suggestions?

Can anyone direct me to a good recipe site too?

Do you have a sweet centre near you? Yummy Indian sweets and samosas.

Bombay potatoes, mutter paneer, cauliflower curry and spicy meat madras - if you are going North Indian. If you can get hold of some curry leaves then the South Indian recipes and fresh and spicy and IMO much more interesting but they won't work without curry leaves.

Lots of different samosas and pakoras
this restaurant menu might give you ideas

I'd do

Lamb rogan josh...tomatoey and fresh coriander
Chicken tikja masala ... Creamy and spicey
Cauliflower and potatoe aloo gorbi
Salmon tikka....marinade overnight in yoghart and spices
Rice
Nan bread
Huge big salad

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

I'm starving now
