My husbands family is coming to visit next weekend and I need your help! As you can tell by my nickname, I am not Pakistani, but my husbands family is. I need a good desi menu for one dinner and suggestions of things to have on hand to serve during tea etc. I am a fairly good cook but my husband will not let me cook much desi food… So, I need basic but impressive desi dishes to try. Will you help me?!?
Re: Menu for Visit
Hey jusy read this post today, I hope im not much late. I would not recommend you to make biryani or haleem as these are bit tough too. For tea you can simply make some chicken wings or drumsticks. Bake some cake and even you can make chick peas chaat or fruit chaat. Boiled egg and chicken sandwiches will also be great. It would go good.
For dinner May i recommend Nihari, its very easy if you want i can send you recipe. Else that you can make chicken karahi. Desi menu can be Nihari, Chicken karahi, Simple mutton pulao or may be peas pulao, friend dam ka qeema or if you can make kabab masala or koftay. Chicken roast can be an option too.
For non desi menu Lasange, Egg fried rice, black pepper chicken gravy, Chicken roast, Beef with veggies etc. Hopefully this helps. Ley me know if you need any help
