Wedding season is here again and with it comes the most important part…the food! Here are some dishes which are the true stars of every function.
Let’s be honest, there’s no such thing as a bad biryani, and you can bet that every plate will be wiped clean before the evenings are over.
When in doubt, you can rely on this old favourite. Even if it's a creamy, slightly sweet version of the real thing, it will taste like heaven after waiting in the queue to get it.
Perfect for people in a hurry to get back on the dance floor, these charcoal-grilled cubes of marinated cottage cheese are a grab and go treat.
These soft, syrup-soaked dumplings are the highlight of the evening for all the kids (and the adults too). Hurry, they'll be gone before you know it.
The social hub of the buffet line, this is where you’ll find everyone congregating for lots of gup-shup over their gol gappe and dahi puri.
If the evening’s been a bit too hectic, slow down with this slow-cooked black dal in a rich, buttery gravy for a moment of homestyle comfort.
It’s Jalebi, baby! These golden spirals of deep-fried batter, soaked in sugar syrup, offer a sweet, crunchy indulgence at Indian weddings.
If it’s an ‘Indo-Western’ vibe, we bet there will be a live pasta counter, complete with the unidentifiable ‘pink sauce pasta’.
