August 13

Thanks to David for hosting his Birthday celebratory dinner divan on August 13th. He and 12 of his friends made a most pleasant group. They were easy to please and easy-going and polite to boot, not to mention a good-looking group of young people. They were extremely appreciative and appreciated as an ideal group!

The menu was chosen by the Birthday Boy who knows a thing or two about Indian food and wanted his faves on it. We started by veggie samosas in the garden. The main dinner was chicken biryani, lamb vindaloo, sambhar, aloo/gobi, saag/paneer, raita, kachumbar and naan. The dessert was mango phirni and cake. The evening was perfect weather-wise, I had been fretting a little at the beginning of the week because it had been raining. The one oversight was that I over-looked charging the battery of the camera so unfortunately there is no pictorial evidence!

So for your next celebration or intimate event, why not book a private divan?.

 

what is a divan?

In India a divan or diwan is a council or assembly of leaders – and sometimes refers to the council chamber itself.  It comes from a middle eastern word meaning “bundle of written sheets, small book or collection of poems.”
