Hi Manjulaji,
All ur recipes are excellent. I am a big fan of urs. I am planning a dinner for about 20 people. I am planning to make khasta kachori and dahi vada for appetizer and malai kofta (naan as bread) as one of the min dishes. Could you let me know the vegetable that I should prepare along with it. Also, how can I minimize preparation time on day of the party ? Can I prepare any of these dishes in advance ? Any of ur suggestions will be a very great help. Thanks in advance.
With Best Regards
Hi Mili,
Khasta Kachori you can make in advance or if you want to serve hot, fry them half the way and refrigerate or freeze them till you are ready to serve and fry them back on medium heat. Dhai vada also can be prepare in advance soak it in warm water before ready to serve. With malai kofta you can make aloo gobhi, bhindi or green beans, mushroom peas, and buy naan ready made. Also for rice you can make zucchini rice.
Enjoy!
Thanks a lot Manjula ji for the quick response

Very nice recipe
Hi Manjula,
Can you tell me if there is a substitution for fenugreek seeds (can I use powdered fenugreek)? I know some ground spices taste different from the seed or fresh leaf itself. I’m having a hard time trying to find them in my area.
Thanks!
Jennifer
Hello Jennifer, fenugreek powder will not work dry leaf will be good otherwise do without fenugreek seed it will be fine.
