MEET THE IN-LAWS

My in-laws to-be are coming over for lunch for the first time. What could I cook for them?

f it was me, and someone I love and respect were coming home for the first time, I would not go overboard but cook them something that’s close to my heart. For me, that would mean special Kashmiri dishes. Whatever makes food special to you is what matters. It can be as simple as kadhi chawal. So, serve foods that you have a close connection with. They will appreciate that more than you going all out and fancy.
