Re: menu for a dinner party

You can make good ol' soup with crunchy croutons!

Re: menu for a dinner party

starter ki kia zaroorat hai khana laga ke awaz de dena…

Paaayyyyy jaoooo!!!

:smiley:
I am just kidding

the menu looks great.. :yummy:

Re: menu for a dinner party

soup will be fine.or some cocktail sticks with some roasted chicken chunks and vegetables..

Re: menu for a dinner party

Hmm, I would do at least one veg item, no? How about potato filled samosa?

haha :smiley:

I am also cooking today for a guest .

I am making lamb palaou,butter chicken,ghohst salaan,salad,rayihta,tandoori chicken ,kheer etc but I am thinking I need to add one more salaan but can’t think of anything :hmmm:

Re: menu for a dinner party

Soup would be very overwhelming followed by biryani and ghost etc. Because it is such a rich meal already you want a very very light starter.

Re: menu for a dinner party

Am I the only one who doesn't cook 5-6 main dishes on dawats??? :o
I only cook 3 dishes max!

Re: menu for a dinner party

^depends on how big the dawat is IMO

Re: menu for a dinner party

^I've made 3 dishes for a dawat of 10-12 people! If I cooked more dishes then I wouldn't know what to do with leftovers....

Re: menu for a dinner party

how do u make malai boti?

if i make soup then the guests wud end up eating less bcz after soup u can't have much meal...so thats why i have put fried wings...or the appetizer could be only sainkay huwaye pappur:P not a bad idea!...

for malai oti i use boneless chicken and marinate it with lemon juice..cream ...cheese and zeera ...LOADS of hari mirch...dhanya...and its a very big hit at my dawats...

Re: menu for a dinner party

do you bake it? grill it? stove top?

Re: menu for a dinner party

Man, how come I am never invited to dawats with food as good as this?

sometime i grill it...but this time i am making it in a pan and then have to give coal smoke..

ok a dawwut again for 7-8 ppl...

=qeemay wali biryani
=achaar gosht
=chicken pie
=raita
=2 salads
=naan

i think one more sallun or what?? ideas plz!..all of them r meat-eaters...should i add roasted chicken legs+thighs or one more sallun like brain-masala or chicken karahi or chicken jalfrezi to go with naan?suggestions ASAP..bcz its on this fridayyyyyyy and i am the only one to work:(

-tiramisu but i need the best recipe...m confused between espresso and coffee:(..any help for tiramisu plz?

LOL…

Re: menu for a dinner party

i would make one sabsi (veg) dish to balance out all of the meat you have. maybe palak aloo, bangan aloo..matar aloo? something simple.
