They can also have their pick from a south Indian delicacy avial, moong dal tadka and kacchi ghost biryani (a variety of mutton biryani).

The vegetarians at the lunch table can choose from tori bhujia, paneer jhalfrezi and makai palak with assorted rotis.

For dessert, the dignitaries can opt for blueberry mousse, gur ka sandesh, phirni and fresh fruits. 

The dignitaries will wind up the lunch with tea or coffee.
