A tasty trip for pupils at Millan Indian restaurant
PUPILS spent an afternoon treating their taste-buds at a local Indian restaurant and learning about new dishes.
As part of a new term topic called ‘Village in India’, year-four pupils from St Peter’s Catholic Primary School enjoyed tasting different Indian dishes from the Sub-Continent at The Millan Tandoori Indian Restaurant, Upper Shoreham Road, last Tuesday.
Some of the food they had the chance to sample to sample included poppadoms with mango chutney, chicken tikka, onion bhajees and peshwari (dried fruit and almond) naan bread.
The children were also able to visit the restaurant’s kitchen to watch the food being prepared.
They had the opportunity to see what kind of ingredients were used to make the dishes they tasted and how they were cooked.
Mrs Monica Collins, year-four class teacher, accompanied the children on the visit to the restaurant.
She said that the trip really enhanced the children’s learning of their topic and gave them essential hands-on experience.
On returning to school the next day, the children said it was the “best school trip that they had ever been on”.
