You just need to blend all ingredients together except for Crushed Ice.

Dinner Party straight from Kitchens of India

My kitchen being one of the Kitchen's of India, would love to host a party with the Indian menu. The best part about Kitchens of India products is that I can concentrate more on ambience and entertaining my guests than cooking food all day long in the hot kitchen.

I would love to host a party in my own house, being an Indian home :) For the ambience I would like to have a low seating arrangement, where guests can sit down and relax, they would be then served with Raw Paneer and Vegetable placed in a toothpick and served with Shredded Mango Chutney. This snack will be accompanied by Fresh Nimbu Pani. Post the snacks we will have the game of Tambola to have some fun. The prizes for Tambola will be Kitchens of India Gift packs.

After this fun filled game and all prizes distributed the dinner will be laid which will include my favorite Dal Bukhara, Mughlai Paneer and Mirch Ka Salan. The accompaniments will include Vegetable Biryani, Onion salad, Pudina Raita and Tomato Chilli Chutney.
In the background I will have soft Hindi Old Songs playing for guests to enjoy the food even more.

I shall then end the dinner with Moong Dal Halwa, which was my grandmother's and my all time favorite dessert.
I am sure the guests would go back happy and the sweet taste of Moong Dal Halwa would keep lingering on :)
