I would create a delectable three-course meal that blends Indian and Italian flavors to please the eight guests. Here's my suggested menu:

1. Starter: Aloo Gnocchi Chaat - A combination of soft Italian gnocchi infused with Indian spices, served with tangy chutneys, and garnished with sev and fresh coriander.

2. Main Course: Masala Risotto - A creamy, aromatic risotto prepared with a blend of Indian spices, seasonal vegetables, and garnished with grated paneer (Indian cottage cheese).

3. Dessert: Mango Kulfi Tiramisu - A delicate, layered dessert showcasing the classic Italian tiramisu components soaked in a mango-infused coffee syrup, with creamy layers of Indian kulfi ice cream instead of mascarpone, and dusted with cocoa powder and crushed pistachios.

This menu seeks to delight the guests with a delicate fusion of Indian and Italian flavors while catering to their preference for vegetarian dishes with a mix of light and rich tastes.
The participants prefer vegetarian dishes with a balance of light and rich flavors.
Suppose you are a renowned chef specializing in fusion cuisine, and you have been asked to create a menu that merges Indian and Italian flavors. Can you suggest a three-course meal for a dinner party of eight guests?
