    Appetiser -tomato soup(easier to make...hehehe)

    Starters & chaat -Chicken 65, samosa, peanut chaat/corn chaat.

    Bread - roti with chettinad chicken curry

    Noodles - veg noodles with paneer-peas or mushroom-peas curry.These will go well with rotis too. So vegetarians wouldn't feel left out. If u want a chinese dish to go with noodles, then it's obviously the manchurians...

    desert -rasmalai(using readmade rasgulla)-easy to make for a crowd.
    If u r good at baking, cakes too would be a good option.
    Or maybe some semiya kheer/carrot kheer/rice kheer.
    Warm Gulab jamun with vanilla ice cream. U can make it 1 or 2 days ahead.
    If u have a food processor, u can make carrot halwa. Else it's a task to grate the carrots.

    Hi..
    Here was the menu

    Appetiser - Tomato soup
    Starters & chaat - Samosa, mushroom 65

    Main course:

    Rice - Chicken Biryani, white rice
    Bread - Roti
    Noodles - veg soft noodles
    Curry - gobi manchuria, chicken curry
    Yoghurt - Raita, plain curds
    Rasam - Tomato rasam with papad

    I used samosa sheets to make samosas & froze them to fry later.Also used ready made creamy tomato soup found in trader joes.Rest are home made.
