Indian food can accommodate veg and non-veg, dairy free, peanut free, gluten free, vegan easily and some of the dishes below lends well to being made in advance.
Appetizers -
- Tandoori chicken. (Easy marination and then just bake)
- Cauliflower fritters with green mint chutney. (super easy to make if you have a commercial fryer. Serve with ranch and mint chutney)
- Spiced potatoes and peas Samosas (buy frozen, need to be defrosted and baked/air fried/pan friend/deep fried
Main meal -
- Vegetable rice pilaf - super easy using frozen veggies and rice.
- Black bean daal - easy to make using a jumbo sized crock pot and it freezes well
- Spinach paneer - easy to make in the crock pot and it freezes very well.
- Butter chicken - make extra tandoori chicken and then dunk it in a crazy tasty easy tomato sauce.
- Fried crispy okra in chickpea flour - easy and super fancy dish using whole (headless) frozen okra.
- Lamb vindaloo - Cook the lamb in yakhni (stock) and a bit of vinegar in a jumbo pressure cooker to tenderize it, make the curry with store bought vindaloo paste by Pataks and deep fried onions in the fryer.
Dessert -
- Ice cream and cakes from Costco.
This is a lot of steps. Indian food is delicious and can accommodate a wide range of dietary preferences, but it is definitely NOT known to be easy.

This would be perfectly acceptable if it was for a church youth group or a Christian school, but I would not do this for anything else.
This would not be acceptable at our church youth group at all. We support all of our parishioners.
I’m genuinely curious about CFA situation. Their homophobic founder died 10 years ago. CFA stopped donating to anti-gay causes 5 years ago and has embraced DEI. All good stuff and long overdue. What is the current objection to CFA?

This would be so odd. And it’s nearly impossible to keep sliced turkey warm without it drying out and getting yucky fast.

The vegetarians won't.
Their mac and cheese always gets scarfed up by my kid’s vegetarian friends.
I'm not a fan of Chic fil a, but damn their mac and cheese is good.
Same. This NYT cooking recipe is the closest I’ve come to approximating it. https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020515-southern-macaroni-and-cheese?smid=ck-recipe-iOS-share
