Yep, at my workplace. We are asked to bring an ethnic dish.
What would be something not too messy and yet represent Pakistani cuisine?
I have recently acquired the art of making beef patties…but aren’t those more aligned with the Jamaican cuisine?
No nehari, haleem or biryani either.
Mashvara matloob hay (need advice) por favor
Re: International Pot Luck
Chana Aloo Chaat (whatever kind of chaana chat you make)
Chicken Tikka
Tandoori Chicken
Samosay
If it was me, I would choose Chaana chaat or Tikka as they are eassy to make.
Re: International Pot Luck
I like the idea of Chana Chaat.
I have a question...do you all use the garbanzo chic peas straight out of the can or do you boil them to make 'em softer for chaat? Also how do you prepare aaloo?
Re: International Pot Luck
i used the canned garbanzo beans, for aloo i just boil them and cut them into cubes. Make sure u use a good amount of imli ka pani and do top it off with crushed papri at the very last moment.
Re: International Pot Luck
Ya I just drain them and wash them with drinking water. Use red potatoes, boil them and cut them in cubes. Since they are mostly non-desi's so I would suggest you to not make it too spicy. Ya top it off with papri and cubed tomatoes. And make sure your imli ka pani has good consistancy.
Re: International Pot Luck
chicken tikka, dhai bhallay.
Re: International Pot Luck
I am gonna boil the canned garbanzo chicpeas because I like my chaat to be a lil mushy as i don't want the chanay rolling around in my mouth...I don't want to bite on them.
Re: International Pot Luck
Just don't over boil them. Another tip would be add them when the water is boiling.
Re: International Pot Luck
Where and when is this party? Can I sneak in?
Re: International Pot Luck
How far are you from Cheekaa-go? and most importantly, what are you gonna bring to the table?
Re: International Pot Luck

Re: International Pot Luck
Can you fetch us a dozen (cut in half 
PA ) samosas from Tahoora? minus the green and red chatni. I prefer ketchup.
how old are you? This is an over 18 event 
Re: International Pot Luck
:p I am closer to 81 than to 18.. BTW what exactly is the nature of this adult only party and what kind of business are you in?!!!
Re: International Pot Luck
closer to 81??????? We are not serving mashed potatoes u know. Bring your own food.
It's on-the-job party. Trying to promote globalism.
What kind of work I do? Depends on your needs...er i mean the needs of consumers.
Re: International Pot Luck
my chachi makes parathas for her husband’s Int’l food day 
I was horrified when I heard it, but people at my chacha’s office actually request that she make parathas for them (you know the bandoo khan style).
I would buy frozen samosas and fry them
Re: International Pot Luck
I live in a mostly gori-area and had a fundraising potluck dinner for my son's school...I made tandoori chicken and it was a HUGE hit. Samosas would be good, also aloo paratha.
i can post my tandoori ckn recipe if you want, its wonderful
Re: International Pot Luck
Why all the girls with R names so incompetent in kitchen? You are the third I came across.
Re: International Pot Luck
Because we let our men be competent in the kitchen :halo:
Re: International Pot Luck
Why does it have to be one of the two? Why can't both be competent? So basically, you are incomplete without your spouse's competence? Quite incompetent if you ask me.
Re: International Pot Luck
I can cook the basic stuff. It just that it is not Yummy enough 
this is what I get for giving out the chicken patties recipe
