Rice for 25 People

I have to make matar chawal for 25 people…

How many cups of rice do I need for 25 people??!

How many packets of peas?

and last but not least, I only have one pot.. is there a quicker way to make chawal matar for 25 people?

Re: Rice for 25 People

I am sure there are going to be other items. I would say make 5-6 cups (std measuring cups) of rice.
I never measure peas. Just anndazza...may be 2 cups of peas will do.
Other reader may have better ideas.
Happy cooking!

Re: Rice for 25 People

Are you doing a dinner party for 25 people with a few meat dishes on the side or is this for a potluck type event? I would cook for less than 25 if it is for a potluck. Also do you plan on serving naan as well?

I think 5-6 cups of rice seems about right. I would eyeball the amount of peas, depending if you like a lot or a little.

Re: Rice for 25 People

Looks like I will go for 5-6 cups of rice and may be 3 cups of peas?!?! I can't do the eyeball measurements yet- my cooking skills are close to nothing.

Afro-- I was "volunteered" to make this for the dinner at the survival center held by our department- In fact, I was asked to make rice and beans but I have no idea how to make that so I switched it to rice and peas... I will have to make it for at least 25 people since usually homeless people come there for dinner and numbers may vary that day!

Re: Rice for 25 People

Some expert cook here hopefully can confirm, but if you need it at least for 25 people, than id up the # to about 8 cups, then 3 cups of peas should be OK, i think. Post this question in Aj Kya khaya Pkaya since there seems to be more traffic there
