A traditional lunch, built around what the mother-to-be asked for.
The whole point of a dohale jevan is that she gets what she has been craving, so the menu is built backwards from that. Around it goes a traditional Maharashtrian lunch, pure vegetarian, served early enough for an afternoon of photographs.
