I have to prepare a meal for a group of 60 people. I already have a recipe (Japanese curry with rice) but I have no clue how many of all the ingredients I need, because when I cook it for myself I just put things in the pan without measuring anything.
So that brings me to my question:
How many ingredients do I need (in total or pp)?
The things I use in the recipe are:
– Japanese rice (separate)
– potatoes
– sweet potatoes
– big carrots
– onions
I was thinking about 100 grams of (uncooked) rice per person, so 6 kilos in total, but I have no clue how many of the other ingredients I need in the curry itself, or what amount is normal for veggies in a meal.
I will serve sausages with the meal, but separate because of the vegetarians who are attending.
