Indian Birthday Party Main Course recipes, ideas

Birthday parties today are grand affairs. Gone are the days when kids would just come over, burst balloons, cut a cake, relish a slice of it with samosa or chips, and end the evening playing outside. Be it for children or adults, today’s parties are more elaborate, requiring more attention to details like decorations, gifts, entertainment and of course, food.

You need to decide the menu depending on the time of the day and the age group of the gathering. If the party is in the afternoon or night, you need to plan a proper main course.

Go for rice and rotis with popular dishes that everyone would like. Methi Chole , Dum Aloo , Paneer Pasanda , Dal Makhani , Baby Corn and Paneer Jalfrazie , Rajma Chawal , Vegetable Biryani , Masala Bhatura , Nawabi Naan  and Whole Wheat Coriander and Sesame Seeds Naan  are evergreen delights.

If the party is early in the evening, you can plan a supper of Khada Pav Bhaji  or Chinese Pav Bhaji, Macaroni Hot Pot, Creamy Pumpkin Risotto, Rava Dosa  or Sada Dosa  with Coconut Chutney and Sambhar, or Sindhi Dal Pakwan – basically one-dish meals or those that require minimal accompaniments.

When serving for kids, go for pasta-based dishes, or main courses that have popular ingredients like paneer and potatoes.

For adults, you can opt for mixed vegetables and more spicy main courses.

Keep in mind factors like age group, time of the day, ease of preparation and serving, whether the dish can be prepared in advance, whether you have help to handle a live dosa or roti counter, etc.
