Have a Party

I recently gave a party for my daughter's second birthday inviting 20 adults and 10 kids(who eat). Last year I got it catered thinking I couldn't cook for so many people. But this year I was ready to give it a shot. And it was not difficult. The party was on a Saturday and I started cooking on Wednesday - one vegetable a day. My dad is very good at proportions and he gave me the following proportions whatever menu you have:

For 10 people - you need

• Flour for puri/Roti/naan - 500 gms
• Rice - 300 gms
• Yoghurt for Raita - 1 kg
• Total Vegetables - 2 kg
