Hosting a big fat Indian wedding is incomplete without serving finger-licking food to the honourable guests. As we all know ‘The Khaana’ is the main best thing about weddings. The moment we hear about the Indian wedding the aroma of all those tempting spices and the lip-smackingly delicious food cross our mind. Every wedding has some yummy, mouth-watering delicacies, so rich and so decadent that they are only served at weddings. And admit it that at least once we have secretly peeked into the pantry or the menu, to see what the wedding has for you.
Before people used to call a Halwai and along with him, his team used to take care of the whole menu but recently professional wedding caterers have replaced them. Nowadays what is sizzling up the wedding venues are the latest food trends with international dimensions and unique exhibits. No matter how many exotic world cuisines you add to the wedding menu but it is essential to keep our Indian palates satisfied with the desi lip-smacking food from Indian streets on which people look forward to as chaat counters, paneer delicacies, and so much more…
Food lies in the very heart of every Indian wedding, and below given are some of the best Indian food items that are a must on the magnificent menu.
