Dear Mrs Mano and all,
Wish you a happy diwali.

I have a doubt regarding cooking for a party. i am inviting 35 adults for a diwali party next weekend. planning to make 2 veg gravy and 1 non veg gravy. pulao and roti.
can you pls tell me how much cups rice do i need to keep and if 2 kg chicken would be enough for chicken kuruma?

Thankyou very much!

Dear KZ!

Thanks a lot for the greetings and I wish the same for you!
Regarding the party menu, 5 to 6 kilos of rice are sufficient. but as roti is also there, you can reduce the quantity of the rice according to the quantity of the roties. Normally 7 persons can eat 1 kilo rice sufficeintly.
According to chicken, 1 kilo of chicken is sufficient for 5 persons. But as you are cooking veg.gravies also, you must decide it according to the other dishes.

Thankyou Mrs.Mano.

Dear Mrs.Mano:
A very belated Happy Diwali. I hope you had a good time with your family and grandson. I was following your story in MuthuChidharal. Very interesting.

I saw the dried prawns recipe and sorry for not replying immediately. Will come back with the feedback.

I made your apple basunthi for Diwali and some more for the next door pregnant neighbor. She enjoyed it a lot. Thank you.

And we had your badhusha and adhirasam too for Diwali. They just vanished even before noon. I was unable to share them with neighbors. We are all eager to know what you made for Diwali at home.

Thank you as always.

Dear Suvai:
Happy Diwali.
