Saturday night was dinner for a friend’s Birthday and drinks. We had the second banquet at Blu Ginger (3 courses). Starting with pappudums, then an entree of different pieces – the chicken tikka was perfect. Then our main dishes were butter chicken, chicken desi, prawn something and dahl, with naan and rice.
