Dear L Mohan,

You have a nice menu planned for the adults. But here are a few suggestions. you have two gravy subjis plus avial in the menu. Since avial and potato kurma are similar, why don't you skip one of them and make a dry curry like potato roast or beans to go with rasam and morkuzhambu?
For the kids: for starters, get the frozen french fries and make them, also if you are making ulundu vadai , am sure the kids will eat that too. For their main meal, how about plain cheese pizza? or make puris instead of chapati or naan as they will like that more. Am sure you will have juice and chips etc...

Hope this helps. Good luck with the party.

My best wishes to your son on his birthday.

How does this menu look

Mushroom Biryani
Naan
Chana Masala
Curd rice ,pickle
Omlette Rolls
Gulab jamun with ice cream
Lemon Juice
B'day cake
Most kids are around 2-2.5 yrs.I wonder kids of this age(indians) love pizza.Is pizza a must?

dear supriya,

thats a good menu. no need for pizza since the kids are only 2.00. have finger foods for them like french fries if you want. mac and cheese, or make leass spicy pulao like peas pulao for them.

vandana

Your menu looks nice. Instead of lemon rice ..you can make pulaov or simple biriyani. and u can buy roti from store. For kids either you can have mac cheese or some finger foods , juice boxes, or pizza. Have fun
