Based on the information gathered above, plan your menu. Most elaborate Indian dinners include three courses- Appetizers/Drinks, Entree and Dessert. This is what my typical menu looks like:
Elaborate & filling appetizers are pretty common in Indian parties since dinner is often served later than usual. Here are some appetizers that are most enjoyed by my family and friends, and are a breeze to put together:
Rice pairs really well with most Indian dinner recipes. Instead of serving just plain basmati rice, I like to serve a slightly dressed-up dish like cumin rice or saffron rice. You can also serve a biryani, which serves almost as an additional entree.
Depending on the occasion and type of party you are hosting, you can serve a classic Indian dessert like halwa, along with Indian flavored ice cream, like Paan, or Kesar Pista. If it's a Diwali or Holi party, you can also serve sweet meals like burfi, ladoo, or gujiya.
Most Indian appetizers are served with fresh Cilantro Chutney. And nearly all Indian dinners are served with pickle, and a yogurt side dish, called Raita. Yogurt adds a cooling contrast to the spicy curries. Here are some simple and easy recipes for popular sides and condiments:
Here are some tips and a rough timeline that work for me when hosting a Diwali party or any elaborate Indian dinner party. Using this plan and timeline, I am able to stay on top of things and enjoy the party without any stress.

I had recently done a party with 15 adults and 14 kids for my daughters birthday. So I wanted to share the quantities of food I made for it. It worked pretty well. There were some leftovers, but that is reasonable as you don't want food to completely finish at a party. 2ff7e9595c
