Happy New Year 2012, Everybody! - A Celebration of North Indian cuisines with the BBQ

Happy New Year 2012 Everybody!

I know I'm like four days late to do this shout out but it's better late than never. How was your New Year celebration? I hope it was great enough to keep you going and pumping with excitements throughout this year!

My celebration was fantastic. It was fantastic because we being a true Malaysian celebrated the coming of the new year with a simple yet delicious home cooked dinner at home. We had some tandoori chickens on the BBQ, chicken tikka masala, raita, papadoms, rice, some fried vegs, and 'siakap bakar' ( grilled Barramundi, I think that's what it's called in English) and cold Root Beers with ice creams for desserts.

So all in all, we had an outdoor dinner right on the front yard with the main theme of North Indian dishes. Of course we had to have the BBQ  for the boys to start playing with fire and that's just more than enough excuse to have the tandoori chickens too. Initially we wanted to buy some Roti Naan (Naan Breads) from the nearest Mamak shop to compliment the tandoori but thankfully we were all out of hands and if we did get some Naan breads, I think we would have an awfully stuffed tummy hours before the countdown of the new year begins.

I had a splendid pigging out session with my family during New Year's Eve and I think we badly needed that little time to have everybody finally sitting together at the same time and have a good meal to kick start the New Year.

So here goes the pictures.  Some really decent ones that I'm really willing to share with the general public. Haha.
