My spread for the Valentine’s Day Special will a dinner with our (me and my hubby)favourite dishes. I will prefer for quality of menu rather than the quantity or number of items. The more I make variety items, the less I will give time to my Valentine as I will be busy with my kitchen stuffs.
So a simple kesari rice (my favourite) with mutton kosha (both’s favourite) and chicken fry (his favourite). Kesari rice or saffron rice is not a sweet one, a normal version with the flavour and richness of kesar.
This arrangement was done by me on my husband’s last birthday. He was very happy 😃 to see such decoration on the terrace with the lovely dinner. ❣️😍
