MENU: My favorite Indian Recipes

When we have friends over for Indian Food, this is the menu I generally prepare, because it includes all my favorite Indian recipes.  Many of the dishes can be made in advance, leaving only the rice, dal, and frying the paneer for the last minute.  I may substitute a ground lamb curry (keema) for the lamb with turnips.  

 

BEVERAGE:

Spiced Mango Lassi with optional Saffron Gin

 

STARTERS:

Tamarind Chutney and Quark Dip

Coriander Chutney Yogurt Dip

Fenugreek Crackers (Methi Mathri)

 

DINNER:

Lamb Curry with Turnips

Palak Paneer (Spinach with Paneer Cheese)

Cauliflower with Cumin, Fennel and Black Mustard

Basmati Rice

Cucumber Raita 

 

DESSERT:

Saffron and Cardamom Phirni (Rice Pudding) with pistachio garnish
