Gone are the days when we, as kids, could be pleased with a regular birthday party. Things have changed now and so have kids’ preferences. A simple platter of patty, chips and cake has been replaced by a whole table spread of pizzas, pasta, beverages and whatnot. Blame it on their exposure or peer pressure, kids want a fanciful affair to celebrate their special day, and parents are ready to oblige. But if you are planning a relatively small affair and don’t want to go all out and hire caterers or order from outside, you can easily prepare the ‘fancy’ dishes of kids’ liking at home and not let them down.  

We have planned the perfect menu for your child’s not-so-extravagant but exciting birthday party. It has some of the most popular yet easy-to-make dishes that all kids want on their birthday menu. Be the chef for your kid’s birthday and they will love their favourite foods served to their friends with the extra dose of love.
