Look forward to the replies 
Re: Our Guest this week - Sara516
ok .. i don't believe in cooking sooo many things that a person can't even enjoy something because you feel greedy and want to taste everything as the host made an effort and cooked all that gorgeous stuff for you .. isay the menu should be kept moderate so the guest can enjoy to more than 1 serving if they like 1 or 2 things more than other!!
lets see.. i'll serve what i like :D
Starters:
Aaloo tikki - with loads of different spices fried with a coating of beaten egg and chilli flakes .. spicy but not over powering!
Main course:
Home made Keema Naans
Mint sauce
Imli sauce
Raita
Desert:
Triffle with cake at the bottom, then jelly, then custard on top and then an assortment of fruits inclusing strawberries, mango and tinned peaches with fresh whipped cream on top and then grated flake chocolate on top (my mum makes awesome triffle and has these gorgeous crystal dessert bowls/cups sorta thing for individual serving that shows all the layers- the family loves it so i will make this)
Followed by:
Home made marble cupcakes and tea!

Re: Our Guest this week - Sara516
For Sara,
When she arrives, my chotees will greet her with a bhangra. My husband will take her husband to masjid for maghrib ki namaaz. 
Meanwhile, I shall warm up the food and lay it out while Sara shares her shopping tales with me. Also, I shall open and swoon over the large gift bag Sara has brought for me and tell her she didn’t really have to do that but inside my belly, laddoos will be phooting.
The menu today is desi style Chinese:
Hot and sour classic soup
Spicy hakka noodles
Chili chicken
Chicken manchurian
Vegetable fried rice
Beef ginger
Drinks: Ginger ale with lemon wedges (
)
For dessert: Fortune cookies stolen from local Teriyaki joint slightly warmed up to look as if I made them. And fruit custard.
Saunf and chaalia.
Then we’d gossip about GS

Dippers:
