This weekend was my brother Rishi's high school graduation party, which went beautifully. The event was catered by 5ive Chefs, a phenomenal catering service recommended to us by someone in our family. For starters we ordered paneer suslik (paneer, peppers and onions with spices on mini skewers), cocktail-sized samosas and chaat. The dinner, which we asked them to make extra mild (we're not a fan of extremely spicy food), included saag paneer, channa pindi, malai kofta, chicken tikka, muttar pulao and fresh-out-of-the-tandoor naan (we had two guys from the catering service make them fresh! there's nothing better).
I would definitely recommend 5ive Chefs. My mom and I don't go out of our way to eat Indian restaurant food since we enjoy home cooking, but this food was really excellent -- full of wonderful flavors, not too oily, and not overpowering spiciness. It was food made with care.
I had actually made the sangria I featured here on my blog, which I was thrilled to see that everyone loved. Unfortunately, I didn't make nearly enough so it was finished pretty quickly. I definitely learned my lesson -- never skimp on the amount of sangria for a party! For those of you who enjoyed the sangria at the party or for anyone that would like to see that recipe again, I'm including a link to the page directly: Summer Sangria. The real recipe for the pomegranate-mint iced tea is also on the main page of my blog (not the version I had to make because the store ran out of my pomegranate lemonade!!!).
More posts to come this week. Thanks for all the love! And don't forget to follow me and share my blog with others <3 (see the links on the right hand side).
