[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you are over thinking this!  The Indians live in America, know they are going to a non-Indian house and will not be offended by what you serve.  If you confirm they are vegetarian, just offer an option.  Believe me, people with dietary restrictions ate used to making do!  I say this as an Indian born in America to immigrant parents, one of whom is a strict vegetarian.
And definitely confirm restrictions with both families before you assume what they are![/quote]

+1. I highly doubt this Indian couple is one of the rare people who won't eat root vegetables or won't eat for fear that the grill/plates etc. were used for meat previously. They are living in America and have accepted an invite at someone else's home and presumably eat at restaurant also, where you can be certain that hamburger and veggie burger are grilling next to each other and being turned with the same utensils. It would be nice if you could do 2 rounds of grilling or have some stuff done when they get there so they aren't watching you touching the meat and veggies simultaneously, just in case that grosses them out - but other than that, don't over think it. I also say this as an Indian whose parents eat vegetarian for halal purposes.[/quote]
