Self-proclaimed wine expert, Moni, brought her refined palate to Come Dine With Me - South London. She loves fine wines. As long as they're Chateauneuf-du-Pape

Moni is an office manager who loves managing offices. She's also a vegetarian but that doesn’t mean she's boring. People might think she is boring, but she's not boring. Got that? She's not boring.

The picky princess has spent all week singing her own praises and it doesn't look like tonight will be any different. "I never go to dinner parties," she says smugly, "I'm such a good cook that other people are frightened to invite me to their dinner parties." Charming. Tonight, she'll be putting her food where her mouth is, serving a starter of gargantuan prawns and no less than five main courses.

And the wine choice? Is that a Chateauneuf-du-Pape you've got there Moni? Quelle surprise. Moni's wine snobbery means she always travels with her trusty bottle of Chateauneuf, something that's rubbed rival Lisa up the wrong way. But Lisa's determined to get her own back on the haughty host and, with the cunning of a fox, has decided to bring her own favourite wine to tonight's soiree. Brilliant.

In case the excellent wine and superb food aren't enough to win over her guests, Moni's even got her guests gifts. The delighted diners can't contain their excitement as they hurry to unwrap their… stone. Then it's a quick lesson in chapati making to wow the boys. Don't touch them Matthew, they're hot. Or you Peter. Too late. Someone get the ice.

Starter

Prawn curry

If the prize went to the most impressive crustacean, Moni's king prawn curry would romp it.

Main Course

Mixed thali

Moni dazzled her guests with her five-part mixed thali including lamb curry, chicken curry, aubergine curry and lentil dhal with homemade chapati.

Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, we can't bring you this recipe but you can get your curry on with this soya mince curry recipe.

Dessert

Strawberry Champagne surprise

Proving all that glitters is not gold, Moni crafted this glitzy strawberry cream and champagne surprise cake.

  9. Hi there, Could you email me your curry base recipe, I dont mind if the quantities are large coz I can freeze it to make my own home-made ready meals. Also if you wouldnt mind, I'd love to have a go at your chapati recipe if you wouldnt mind emailing me that too please. Like many people at the moment I am shopping with a tight budget and would like to take your advice of making curry meals myself as oposed to buying jars and packets. Anything for better tasting food instead of the plastic tasting ones you buy in the shops. Thanks

  13. Hello All, Thank you for the comments, I drink Tesco’s finest Chateauneuf-du-Pape, although you cannot go wrong with Chateauneuf-du-Pape, so try them all and see which one suits you best. My Thali plates are by Jamie Oliver, and if you want to get the little bowls they are from Ikea. If you need any other info please leave a message, I am working on my own website which should be available next week. Thank you all Moni x

  17. I thought that curry had 22 onions in it??? It looked gorge but as a recipe it looks decidedly normal...

  24. I was astonished to see the TV incorrect spelling on the caption for Moni's dessert. It is NOT Champange!
