Garden Party III

This is a continuation of my garden party posts. Today, I want to share some photos of the food prepared for the party. If you missed my post about harvesting vegetables from the garden, please click here. If you missed my post about getting ready for the garden party, please click here.

These are homemade wafers served along with the food.


A few days before the party, all the linens were washed, ironed, and folded.


Do you remember harvesting the butternut squash from Garden Party I? Well, the butternut squash was cooked with tamarind and made into a stew. 


The eggplants were prepared with sesame peanut sauce.


Opo squash was made into koftas with gravy.


Chicken biryani



All these recipes were featured in my cookbook, Entertaining From an Ethnic Indian Kitchen. For more information about the book, please visit komalinunna.com.

I am joining Foodie Friday and Cindy for Show and Tell.

  5. This is a lot of food to cook by one person. How do you manage it? How many days before the party you start? Do we need huge vessels to cook foof for fifty people? The preparation and how you do it would be a wonderful post to read.

  7. Vinita,
    I started preparing for the party 5 days before. I think I should have started 2 weeks before.
