Birthday Menu & Decorations



Ravi's birthday celebrations went on a grand scale. This was all done in last minute. We didn't want to celebrate this time at home and thought of going out for dinner but my brother insisted that we invite everyone home and I had just one day to make the preparations. I didn't have anything in the refrigerator and since Ravi likes sweets, I started making them and Ravi and Naveen got the groceries for me. I was cooking almost all day y'day.


The menu was:

Drinks:
Mango Punch

Appetizers:
7 layer dip
Corn soup

Entrees:
Methi Matar Malai
Palak Paneer
Naan
Rumali Roti
Tri-colored Rice

Desserts:
Badam Halwa
Double ka mitta
Chandrakantha


I could not take individual pictures of the dishes, but everything is on the table below. I plan to make them again sometime and link them all to this blog.




I made some decoration on the coffee table just to make it look extra special.





Same here, I had some fresh flowers at home and I arranged them all through the living and dining rooms. I could not take pictures of other decorations!! I also lighted candles in all the rooms and the smell made us so calm and peaceful inspite of all the tiredness and noise around.

La Gourmet Chef


Since I am a great food lover, I thought there would be no better topic than talking about Food. I will at times add different topics too, but my blogs mostly will be dedicated to food.

And the inspiration I got for cooking is obviously from my Mom. She is the greatest cook in the world and I love every dish that she makes. But, unfortunately I turned out to be a vegetarian so I've never tried her Non-Veg dishes. Heard from family and friends that she is an expert in that too.

From my next blog onwards, I will start posting some great recipes and talk about cooking tips etc... I will also send out links to some nice food websites.

Wait for my next blog......
