Sharmi,
My mum cooked the bharela mircha,
The tandoor chicken was marinated the day before, just the case of putting in the oven, and marinating the potatoes in the leftover marinade.
I made the olives, Greek salad and the rice.
My sister brought blackcurrent cake
and My sister-in-law brought the kulfi.
That is the nice thing about family do's everyone chips in
forgot to say, I made the chana too
It did not seem like hard work at the time. The bonus was not washing up after dinner.
Looks great and the recipe is simple...good one!:)
