[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an Indian American who is used to this scenario; if you aren’t used to cooking large quantities of Indian veg food then don’ start now. Enlist the visiting relatives to help but only if they are used to cooking back home and/or get food catered and purchase staples like frozen rotis and a big bag of rice.[/quote]

Totally agree with this. Go to a South Asian or Arab store. They have all the spices you’ll need. Ask MIL and DH which ingredients to get. If your MIL is used to flavorful Indian veg food, I understand why she wouldn’t want salad. I’d even consider getting big trays of Indian veg takeout. If you’re not used to cooking Indian food, it’s hard to replicate with such short notice. It requires simmering and getting the spice mix right.

For breakfast, I’d have plenty of savory and sweet options in the fridge and let them go to town. And maybe get some good naan too in case they like to eat naan with eggs (or piratha).

Make sure you have tea and some biscuits would be a nice touch. Any sort of tasty tea biscuits from the South Asian or Arab stores. Maybe rusk (a mildly sweet, stiff biscuit designed for dipping in tea) and some kind of cookies with jam. [/quote]
