New Delhi:
At the lunch hosted by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Sunday, Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari will be served generous portions of the subcontinent's varied cuisines.
Goshtaba (meatballs in curd-based curry) from Kashmir,
avial (mixed vegetables) and
dosas from the Southern hinterland with prawns,
barra kebabs as starters from the central heartland of the country and desserts like
phirni from the north and
gur sandesh from Bengal will be on the eclectic spread of dishes.
The prime focus will be on bilateral issues when Dr Singh has a one-on-one meeting with Mr Zardari, who is making a three-hour stopover in New Delhi on Sunday before flying to Ajmer to pay homage at the shrine of Khwaja Moinudding Chishti.
During his day-long trip to India, Mr Zardari will be accompanied by his 23-year-old son Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and interior minister Rahman Malik.
No aides will be present from either side at the luncheon meet to be held at Dr Singh's Race Course Road residence followed by lunch to be attended by select guests on both sides.
