Stick to a theme, if your doing desi then stick to desi and not have pasta salad with salaan.

I like to do things a little different, sometimes Ill serve fajitas and ill do its buffect style, where yu have a choice of chicken, beef or veggies, then i lay out all the toppings so everyone had their own fun making their dinner..

Ive done that with pasta as well, laid out the cooked meat, veggies and sauces, and their pasta choice..and i will quikcklymix it up and serve it..

i do alot of thai dinner parties

always been a huge success
