The Bong food is one of the
lesser considered but widely appreciated ones. Every other wedding you go to,
you’ll come across dishes from mainly two cultures, Rajasthani royal Indian food and Punjabi. Although
these two are great cuisines, they are too mainstream. Every couple will want
to ensure that wedding is unique in every aspect. Decorations and themes are on
the mind of everyone out there, quality Indianfood is also on the checklist, so will be the variety of dishes; however,
rarely the hosts will jump to the boat of food from a culture which drifts
apart from theirs.
Bengali food is exemplary for a
wedding menu owing to the texture of dishes and the tailoring of the dishes
with unique ingredients which no other tradition’s chef would try getting hands
on. Bengali food will blend in with any theme or reception timing, it is that
versatile. Start exploring the dish options with the Asian wedding caterers and you’ll be awestruck seeing the list of food
items.
A bit nervous? Don’t be.
Following is a list of a few Bengali dishes to help you out.
The Starters
Luchi/Poori and Chholar Dal are
the staples when it comes to the starters. The dal is prepared by adding
coconut to chana daal to provide a bit of sweet taste. For the non-vegetarians
guests Maccher Kaalia, a type of curry fish can be catered. Malpua and Sandesh
(made out of dry milk) are two world
famous Bengali sweet dishes which you can serve even as Indian wedding food starters!
Main Course Delight
The showstoppers for the main
course are Biryani and Mutton Kosha, a gravy based semi dry dish of Mutton.
Couple these with masala papads to make things a tad more interesting. The
vegetarians can be offered Doi Potol. It is a curd based sabzi which is prepared by frying partial to a medium extent. Garam
Masala is added to add a spicy touch to it. Be sure to enquire your caterer to
confirm whether these can be prepared by his/her staff or not, and if they
don’t contact Coriander Manchester.
Mouthwatering Desserts
Chhannar Payesh is one such hatke dessert; kheer with a twist or Channar Payesh is unlike kheer that’s made from rice and milk, this is prepared from paneer
pudding. You may also consider Pantua, sugary deep fried sweet balls made with
khoya, channa and flour. Towards the end, cardamon flavour is also added by
some caterers like Coriander London.
Mouth freshener
A dedicated stall for all kinds
of fennel and paan would be perfect.
Enquire the Indian caterers to serve
customized paan as per the request of
the guest.
In addition to all the dishes
mentioned above, the host may also add Asian catering, continental, Thai or Chinese cuisines to the serving Coriander UK menu to bring variety to
the table; also some guests may prefer not to have Bengali food at all, which
also is to be taken care of. A tip to readers is that they should consider only
simple Bengali dishes as the guests aren’t used to Bong food and also fancy
dishes would churn up the per head cost.
