After a really long time had good desi indian khana. Last saturday we had a Ifthaar party hosted by somebody here. The hosts were from Pakistan so we were expecting desi food. let me explain you the system here first. everyday evening somebody or the other would get food to the masjid for ifthaar . For most part of the time its arabian food. We have rice and chicken.hmm chicken ...iss ke baare mein jitna kam kaha jaye uthna acha. most of the time its without any spices or salt or mirchi. i mean we are thankful that we get nv food but then u know after a point of time its get very difficult for the desis to eat it everyday.
This saturday was different, we had ifthaar a party . Big turn out at the civic centre where the dinner took place. now let me describe the menu we had podina ki chutney , raitha ( not like the one which " my some one" makes ...what she makes is out of the world ) we had Vegetable Biriyani, fried chicken , chicken gravy ( made in typical indian punjabi style and it tasted awesome..) we also had mutton fry which not was so good but then manageable and butter nans. All of us filled the plates like mad. fill your plate as much as you can the first time because yahan ki public ka koi bharosa nahin kab khana khatam ho jayega we will not know. sab pe plates were like overflowing but then ek kahawath hain " insaan dil bhare tak khana apne plate mein daaltha hai par paet bhare tak hie kha saktha hain " . We stuffed as much as we could and we enjoyed the food. There was a small table in between the ladies side n the gents side which had only cups n saucers and no food. abhi sab log intezaar mein hain mitha aayega ki nahin aayega and mitha finally came. We had choclate cake and a fruit cake along with ras malai , we had another feast. May god bless the people who organised the dinner and may they organise ifthaar parties like these more regularly.
