Dawat (guests) recipes

Dishes for guests that look and taste special and can mostly be made ahead.

A classic dawat menu is one rice dish (biryani or pulao), one gravy dish (qorma or handi), one dry dish (karahi, kababs or tikka), naan, raita and salad, and one or two desserts. Qormas, kababs and kheer improve when made a day early, which leaves the day of the dawat for rice and naan.
