Gaura Purnima Festival Menu
On Gaura Purnima, the birth of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Vaishnava devotees fast the entire day until moon rise and then enjoy a fabulous feast that has first been offered, with love, to Sri Krishna Chaitanya.
This is only a suggested menu and can be adjusted in any way you like. What is important, if you are choosing to cook a feast on this special day, is that you cook with love and offer with love.
To make things a little easier for you on the day of Gaura Purnima, I strongly suggest that you make as many things as you can the day before. For example the paneer and the sweet rice could be made in advance.

Hare Krsna!
Careful - Srila Prabhupada said to fast from grains (like on Ekadasi) when breaking a fast on Visnu-tattva appearance days. That includes Gaura Purnima!
That said - the recipes here all sound delicious, and the Ekadasi-friendly ones here would be perfect for Gaura Purnima! (The rest... I'll save for the feast after the fast, tomorrow ;) )
Hare Krsna! Happy Gaura Purnima to all!

Vegetable Soup
Gouranaga potatoes for sure
Paneer Sak
Chestnut flour puris
Cucumber Raita

Tapioca pudding
etc all work.
