Marinated millet, corn kernel salad and stuffed mushrooms are on the menu for 400 guests invited to the state dinner being hosted for Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the White House’s South Lawn on Thursday.
First Lady Jill Biden on Wednesday said she had asked Chef Nina Curtis – who specialises in plant-based cuisine – to work with the White House staff and create a stunning vegetarian menu for Prime Minister Modi, who is a devout vegetarian.
Guests will have the option to add fish to their main course as well, she said during the media preview for the state dinner.
