A small gathering of friends over homecooked BLR lunch

I was invited for homecooked lunch yesterday by my friend Nov Velan. He made arrangement for a few of us to meet up at his home where he prepared an awesome lunch for us. I picked up my friend Venoth and headed to Velan's place. We were all friends on Facebook but I had not met them personally and this was a very good opportunity to really meet up. Another FB friend, Praveen,  also came to join us.
When we arrived at Velan's home, he was still busy with his cooking and I could smell the wonderful aroma of his cooking. Soon the cooking was done and the table was set with the awesome spread of dishes and fresh looking banana leaves from the garden.

We were also joined by another new friend Fa Abdul and her daughter and later, Velan's two sons joined us for lunch too. We all really enjoyed the awesome spread that was laid out for us. One dish in particular that Velan prepared was the mutton varuval and he even has it on his own blog http://cookwithvelan.blogspot.com/2015/04/mutton-varuval-pressure-cook-mutton.html. Do read up his blog post on it if you are a mutton fan as that dish is really awesome. We all left Velan's place after lunch feeling very happy and contented. Nov Velan, you're a great host and and a wonderful chef and we thank you for your hospitality.
