The Girlfriend Test Dinner

Before formally opening the doors to monthly Chit Chaat Chai gatherings,  I hosted a little test dinner to get feedback from fellow food lovers, creative souls, & nurturers a.k.a my favorite LBC girlfriends! On January 31st, the ladies came over for a simple Kathiawary meal that was a staple & one of the many favorites of my family. The menu included 3 courses (this is where the 2nd gen. influence comes in) and went something like this:

first

Keri & Ghajar ka Achar

sweet & spicy raw mango salsa and a green chili + carrot salad served with pappadum

main

Khadi + Bhindi + Pelay Chawval + Aam Achar

yogurt curry & okra served over lentil brown basmati rice + spicy mango pickle

dessert

Ghajar ka Halva

Carrot pudding with cashews, pistachios, sesame seeds & spices

Thanks ladies for your support,and tips!
