Meal and Celebration Planning
For me, the beauty of Indian cuisine is that each dish evokes memories from my childhood, of trips abroad, and of memorable meals. I hope that the recipes in this book will help you create memories with your friends and family, and maybe bring back some old memories, too. To say that there is an Indian meal for every holiday or gathering would be an understatement. Putting together menus can sometimes be overwhelming, given how many amazing combinations there are, but here I share some of my favorite meal plans with you. Remember, when preparing for larger gatherings, Indian food can be made in advance; many dishes taste even better a day after they were prepared, as the flavors meld and have time to develop.
