Whenever I cook for 9 people I end up cooking alot more than I need but personally I like it that way...
Chicken Karahi (1 chicken- about 3lbs) Chaney (2 small cans) Carrots, peas and Aalo (love this) Kofte or Seekh Kababs (13 or 14 kofte)
Vegetable Rice (3 cups) Naan (get Tandoori Naans from Trader Joe's) best naans ever Raita Chutneys
Dessert: If you wanna make something different try pecan bars..they are soo good
THis is actually pretty decent.
How would you suggest making chaney? Like chaney ka salan?
Can you tell me how to make Veggie Rice?
I will check out Trader Joe's Tandoori Naans for sure.
karhai chicken is gud!! do make that... i was wonderin if u cud just make bhunawa keema rather than saag keema.. sorry neva heard of it. but yeah bhunwa keema sounds gud enuff and formal too... if u cant make that then saag k sath hi sahi. for veggie i think its safer to go with mixed (mili sabzi) rather than just one. if not then bhindi is fine too. how do u make bhindi? fried rite? or with tomatoes? i think fried wud b more appropriate for dawat. for rice can u make meat pulao?? thats gud for dawat too in place of biryani. when i have guests i definitely make 4-5 dishes. its so nice to see the table all set up with variety and its gud for me too cus lil bit is always left for us to eat for 2 days atleast!! another suggestion y dun u make pasta also? its easy and its ALWAYS a hit!!! as it is the menu is desi so add a nice pasta dish to give a twist. raita, salad can b the usual. for desert i dnno wot it hawain salad? isnt it supposed to b a salad?? :S
Fried bhindi with tomatoes, yup! Bhuna huwa qeema sounds really good, like dam ka qeema? Tell me how to make this?
