Hello Riddhi,

You could do – Khaman with Bhelpuri as appetizers.

In Main course – Dal Bukhara, with a paneer dish would be great. Either Palak paneer or Paneer labbadar. If you have time on hand you can fit in Vegetable Jalfrezi too.

For Desserts – Shrikhand – is prefect to end your beautiful party.
Have a great time!

Hi Ruchi, I am planning a party for 30 people. 12 kids 18 adults. Please guide me with fully vegetarian menu as i have no helpers and I need to host it singlehandedly too.. please guide.
Which is better? Shrikhand or basundi
Bhakarwadi and khaman with bhelpuri?
Main course – i have dal Bukhara in mind but what else can I prepare in short time n how to manage breads being single.

Hello Harshana,

For 18 adults and 3 kids, you will need –
Dal – 3.5 cups of Dal
For Main Subzi –
2.25 cups chopped potatoes
1.5 cups chopped bell peppers
1.5 cups chopped carrots
1.5 cups chopped French beans
4.5 cups chopped cauliflower
2.25 cups green peas
45 Paneer cubes – optional

Rice – I usually keep a measurement of 1/2 cup (uncooked) rice per person. That equals 9 -10 cups of rice for 18 adults. Since you have puri on the menu, you can do 1/4 cup of rice per person.
Have a great time!

Can I have quantity idea for main subji and dal rice

Hello Shreeja, for 37 people, you will need somewhere between 1.5 kgs (9 cups) to 1.75 kgs ( 10 cups) of dry beans.
For sandwiches – are you planning to serve them cut into halves or quarters? If served in halves – you will need 40 whole sandwiches (80 halves).
For Rice – I usually keep a measurement of 1/2 cup (uncooked) rice per person. Since you have laccha paratha too, I would do 20 cups (3 kg) of rice for 40 people.
For Basundi – You will need 30 cups (7.25kg) of milk for 45 servings.

Feel free to reach out to me if you have any other queries, and have a great party. 😊
