Food planning and estimates for party.

We recently had a birthday party for our son and I was looking for estimates on how much food to order for the same on the internet but could not find many sources - especially with Indian food. So I am bloggifying my experiences with the food planning for the party.

This would probably be more easier in numbers than letters:

Number of invitees for the party: 65 adults and approximately 35 children (ranging from months old to 15-16 year olds).

All "full tray"s are 8 Quarts, All "medium tray"s are about 6 Quarts.

Dish	Ordered/made	Outcome
Mirchi Bajji	Full tray	Finished
Onion Pakodi	Medium tray	About 20% left
Chapatis	125 count	About 40 left
Malai Kofta	Full tray	Very little left
Chana Curry	Medium tray	About 10% left
White rice	16 cups	About 5 cups left
Pulihora	10 cups	About 1 cup left
Dondakaya (Tindora) Curry	Full tray	About 20% left
Bendakaya (Bhindi) Masala	Full Tray	About 30% left
Sambar	Full tray	About 30% left
Kobbari (coconut) Mamidi (mango) Pachchadi (chutney)	1 coconut, 2 mangoes	About 50% left
Cake	Full sheet	About 10% left
Jilebi	15 pounds	About 50% left
Perugu (curd)	1 gallon	About 50% left
Pizza	10 large	About 30% left

Pizza would have been gone completely if it were all cheese.
