Ok so most of you like option 2 .. yeah it looks much easier actually ..

Khatti, Cream Salad is a mix of Apple, Pineapple , white channa’s , peas, boiled potatoes , carrots all chopped fine and then tossed with some mayo , salad cream and salt and pepper .. its a very simple salad .. I even add in boiled and shredded chicken sometimes ..

Option 2 cb, the cream salad sounds yummy

Re: Need help with the menu

alright guys , I am going with option 2 then.

I think biryani and kofta’s will take too much effort , even though i like that option , but dont think i will be able to make it .. :hinna:

For Dessert, i am thinking Trifle. ready made cake and all i will have to do is add custard and jelly and top it up with fruits or whipped cream

what say?

Re: Need help with the menu

option 2 is easiest!
n trifle will also be easy dessert to make…

split the tasks like make trifle then take rest for an hour then make khana then rest n then starters…

Re: Need help with the menu

yes triffle is good option. Im sorry i did not read that you want lunch to be prepared in 2 hrs so i gave option 2. Moreover I usually freeze koftas when i bring qeema so just wrote with my frame of mind. However I never put effort with the starters My suggestion is

Starter: Finger fish, Cream Salad/Raita (any of them)
Main Dish: Peas Pulao, Chicken Roast, Palak Paneer/Mutton Stew
Condiments: Dahi Boondi
Dessert: Coffee Delight (its in my thread even easy than Triffle in my opinion)

Chicken Roast is easiest thing as you dont have to work on it, Marination and then baking.

Oh I realized what the cream salad is…but you also included “salad cream” as one of the ingredients for cream salad…thought maybe it was some kind of dressing that you guys call salad cream… (like crisps vs chips, chips vs fries etc).
