I’m going to invite a few friends over for tea in a couple of weeks (when my conservatory is finally completed and I have a new dining table - yaay!).
Question is what do I make? I want it to be a mix of a traditional english tea (sandwiches/scones) and a pakistani nashta.
Suggestions please.
halwa, poori, and chanay of course!!! i've never been to a desi breakfast party that was without. but i don't know how well that will complement the "english" theme of this party. lol.
edit how awesome would it be if you could make tiny tiny pooris (like bitesize) with the chanas n sooji halwa already stuffed in them. so its not like a big messy breakfast but finger food style. just a thought :)

Ooooh I like the idea of the mini stuffed puris. I'll experiment this weekend!
