Chow time

Yesterday we had a friend over. He brought us amazing looking and tasting sweets made of kaju katli. Once we had them we started working out how the sweet was accomplished.Its from Rangoli sweets in Santa Clara. We were running out of time in menu planning and execution. So we dropped the dessert idea. What an excellent replacement!
For the occasion my other friend made chicken biryani. We used drum sticks, so she cooked the chicken before layering it with rice. A little more spice would have been wonderful. Each time I came across an onion strand, I felt the tang of the lemon juice in it.
