I have an Indian vegetarian couple coming over for dinner tomorrow night as they are leaving on a transfer to India this weekend. Good friends. So far I am making (rather hubby is making) this famous tarka daal of his.
Other than that, I need a few suggestions.
Daal and a couple other veg dishes… For dessert I will be doing kulfi falooda.

Re: Vegetarian dinner menu
my mum is a vegetarian and she makes the yummiest appetizers.. u could make sabudana vada (tapioca pearls and aloo mixture that is spiced, shaped into a kebab and fried), or aloo tikki chaat, or handvo, or dhokla, maybe veg spring rolls..
for veg salans u could make gobhi mughlai, tarka dal, maybe bhindi masala, palak paneer is always special..
keep the rice simple, just do zeera rice, goes with everything..
for raithas, u have bhindi raitha, carrot raitha, cucumber raitha, etc. my fave is the cucumber with chopped raisins in it. mostar, i'm curious abt louki raitha - recipe pls!

Re: Vegetarian dinner menu
Vegetable biryani or Matar Pulao
Lauki ka raita with zeera baghar
Palak Paneer
TLK's daal
Fried Bhindi...this stuff is great paired with any kind of daal
Malai Kofta
Matar Paneer - although I like Palak Paneer with the pulao better
Potato cutlets
Pastries - basically aloo ka bhurta stuffed into fillo dough and baked
Re: Vegetarian dinner menu
**kaT'hal ke kabaab [green jack fruit] wud be a better choice, in my opinion, coz thats considered the "non-veg kabaab for Hindus" due to its fibrous texture.
it tastes yummy. my bhabhi N sisters make them sometimes.
Fried Bhindi chips are a crowd pleaser :)

TLK's daal

Re: Vegetarian dinner menu
Palak paneer is popular with Indians. So is
*Malai kofta *(vegetable balls in gravy)
Eggplant salan
Bhindi
