We were having some of my old (very appropriate these days) work friends and spouses over yesterday for a catch up lunch. All of us like Indian Food so we planned the meal around that. My wife also decided that she wanted to enjoy the day without working too hard so instead of her doing a lot of cooking we ordered most of the food from a newly opened restaurant near us. All of it was lovely and a good time was had by all. We however did end up with a lot of leftovers but my daughter was delighted to have some for her evening meal.
So from the top -:
Chicken Dum Biriyani & plain rice.
Burhani Goat Curry & Sabz Korma
Macher Jhol (Fish Curry) & Jeera Aloo (coughin Potatoes)
Pachadi Salad with a spiced Yoghurt topping
Then onto deserts.
Fruit - Jackfruit, Rambutan stuffed with Pineapple, Strawberries & Blueberries
My wife did make some Sooji Kheer - Semolina pudding made with Milk, Coconut Milk, Eggs, Vanilla Essence, Sugar, Cardamom and Saffron. Topped with Almond flakes and Cranberries.
Gulab Jamun
Then we finished off with some Indian Biscuits. The round ones are Coconut and the others are coughin. There was also some Mukhwas
