7th day and the last day for this version of BM…next month we start a new version, friends do check the details here.I love hosting elaborate formal dinners, I try to cook everything at home in a planned way so I can enjoy the meal with the guest.I hate to be in kitchen while guest are around.This is the North Indian meal I cooked recently…we invited our friend’s son and daughter in law…..the newly wedded couple.The meal was much more elaborate with some more snacks and desserts.I would have loved to click the whole spread,but I did’nt want to click in front of the guest and I did’nt want poor lighting. Coming to the menu…
