It's Friday and we are all set to welcome a relaxing weekend ahead. While some of us prefer catching up with friends and family, others like to sit back and watch some series and read books. Choice of weekend activity is unique to each. But what remains common for all is food. Over the weekends, people go on a bingeing spree and indulge in everything delicious and decadent, without any guilt. And if you ask us, our weekend starts on a Friday evening, post 6. We quickly wrap up all our work and get set to unwind ourselves with a delicious dinner spread. If your schedule is also like us, then here, you are for a surprise.
We curated a list of our favourite recipes that make dinner on a Friday night special for us. These recipes are delicious, easy to make and never fail to win hearts. Let's take a look.
