As a combination for these, Dum aloo, Vegetable korma, Kadai paneer were served. They also had a dish made out of bitter guard ,forgot the name, but it tasted amazing. First ever time we liked a bitter guard recipe. \u00a0Then, Veg Biriyani with Raita, Steamed rice and Dal makhani were served and wrapped up the main course with simple curd rice.<\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lifeonplates\/24716913109\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"tgit (2)\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1720\/24716913109_012fc9f3f5_h.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"901\" alt=\"tgit (2)\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lifeonplates\/24716899889\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"tgit (3)\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1707\/24716899889_ed89c44cd2_h.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"901\" alt=\"tgit (3)\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Any meal isn&#8217;t complete without desserts.
