okay guys, a few months ago I was looking for a brunch menu for my daughters bday.
now i need help with another one for 16 adults 
here’s what i have so far, some things are similar to the last one.
scrambled cheesy eggs
haleem
fruit in chocolate cups
apricot ginger scones
baked french toast
blueberry lemon muffins
french macarons
should i add aloo ki bhujia and cholay?
thanks!
I would say add toast, or english muffin to go with scrambled eggs.
Also add some kind of flat bread (naan, pita) too go with haleem.
I would replace either scones or muffins with croissants. Too much of sweet stuff otherwise.
Re: A new brunch menu!
hm, i could add toast with the scrambled eggs.
i have never seen anyone eat haleem with flat bread (in my family at least) lol.
how about the aloo and cholay? leave them out?
Re: A new brunch menu!
How does your family prefer to eat haleem…??..I have always seen haleem being served with naan.
What will you serve with the aloo & channay…??..pooris…?
I second with the suggestion,that is there a lil too much sweet stuff.
Re: A new brunch menu!
lol hm.. i always seem to add too much sweetness on my brunch menu.
can anyone suggest an easy yet delectable menu? and perhaps something that won’t require puris. i can get ready made naan.
in my family and other families that i’ve seen - we eat haleem with just a spoon. no bread involved.
Re: A new brunch menu!
If you add toast for the scrambled eggs, then do you need to also have baked french toast? Either omit the french toast, or serve the scrambled eggs with croissants/English muffins.
You can replace haleem with halwa poori and chanay. Since halwa is sweet, you can reduce the number of sweet items. Keep the aloo bhujia. The savoury items will then consist of poori, cholay, aloo bhujia, and scrambled eggs. The sweet items consist of a desi component like halwa as well as non-desi sweets. I say this sounds good.
I find having both haleem and cholay strange because they’re almost the same thing. Haleem is made of daal which is like chanay/cholay. So either do the haleem or the cholay, not both. Haleem and aloo ki bhujjia with naan or premade commerial parathas/kulchas is fine too.
I think a lassi would be a nice accompaniment to the usual beverages (juice, chai, coffee, soda) if you’re up to it.
Maybe replace aaloo ki bhujiya with spicy hash browns. They will go great with the scrambled eggs. That way you won’t need puuri

Where are located?
A new brunch menu!
Store flour tortillas can easily be deep fried. It depends on your tastes but desi ppl like desi foods at home parties. They do these type of menus when they eat out .
Re: A new brunch menu!
so maybe something like this:
haleem
hash browns or some sort of spicy potatoes.
scrambled eggs with english muffins
fruit in chocolate cups
scones
blueberry muffins
and maybe i’ll omit the baked french toast?
Re: A new brunch menu!
It’s brunch, so what do you think about replacing the baked french toast with a simple pasta salad with some veggies in it? Or if not pasta salad, then some really simple pasta stir-fry. Pasta is easy to assemble and it provides a different texture to the overall meal as it isn’t baked or fried. Also, you only have one desi dish: haleem. What if you were to have a desi dessert like halwa? You have two baked sweets (scones and muffins)…you can replace one with halwa wnd it can be eaten with a spoon; no need for puri. How does that sound?
Re: A new brunch menu!
i’m in arizona twinklestar.
10 of the guests are my friends (who don’t care if its american or desi) and the other 6 are uncles and aunts.
Re: A new brunch menu!
Same here - I’d never heard of haleem being eaten with naan until I came on GS.
Re: A new brunch menu!
I have never seen haleem with bread either just a spoon and squeeze of lemon and sprinkle of fried onions and chilli!
I like this menu the best
haleem
hash browns or some sort of spicy potatoes.
scrambled eggs with english muffins
fruit in chocolate cups
scones
blueberry muffins
Re: A new brunch menu!
some more ideas to consider
in stead of scrambled eggs which are difficult to get right and keep warm … a quiche
perhaps a sticky bun/cinnamon roll instead of muffins
