Last Sunday (Thanksgiving weekend) we invited Su-Georgie, Dua, and Dos over for dinner. We were feeling like making a "good" spread, so we came up with a menu of veg biryani (not pulao, no sirree, real biryani with baking and all :D), kadhai paneer, raita and mango sheera for dessert.
It was quite neat! The veg biryani recipe is straight out of Tarla Dalal's cookbook, so I won't record it here: Sam showed great accuracy in the rice cooking, and also great enthu in rushing out to Ross to buy a baking tray of the requisite size at 6:30 instead of cancelling the biryani and replacing it with a more modest pulao :D.
The kadhai paneer turned out really well too- the main key was to marinate the paneer in yogurt with haldi, chilli powder, salt and sugar. I marinated the paneer for nearly an hour and a half, and it made so much of a difference to the taste! Next time, I should marinate the capsicums as well (I used both red and green). The main other things were onions and chaat masala.
Mango sheera (halwa) is a killer dish. Fry sooji (semolina) and add milk when it has roasted enough. Add about 3/4 as much sugar as the sooji, and the mango pulp. It is just too deadly :).
Oh and BTW, everyone pigged a lot :D
