10 Interesting Foods With an Indian Soul That You Must Have At Your Wedding!

We do love our butter chicken and dal makhni but really, we need a big break from them. Especially at weddings, the menu needs some awesome time and again.  So we decided to take a look at the coolest food items on the menu - ones that added an Indian flavour into an existing dish to give it some chutzpah. And some of these foods are so western but that's the point, isn't it? We got Jain Pizza at Pizza Hut so I'm guessing we can invent anything. Haha!

Popcorn Masala Stand

The Wedding Weavers

Well, butter and caramel popcorn are so boring and that's why we needed newer flavours to up the ante. Enter, jeera, desi mirch and spice curry and you are in 7th heaven. Easy and effortless, this one is.

Yeah well, Starbucks has nothing on us if we make our own brands. This can only mean one thing - Indian-flavoured coffees. Yahoo!

Paan-wala

After dinner awesomeness with Paan Parag, Jeera balls and other fascinating ideas for a nice Paan stall. Your guests will go bonkers if you add dry fruits into the mix too.

Cake Pops

Icing makes all the difference - just add some glitter and do the mehendi thing and you're set. You could also make the cake inside with Indian flavours - cardamom, pistachio and cashew cakes can earn you brownie points.

Meat/Paneer/Veggies /Mushrooms on a Stick

Well, we LOVE anything on a stick and if it's bits of paneer, mushrooms, chicken tikka and corn - we are suckers for it. Add a bit of chutney to make it like a chocolate fountain and you'll have crowds gathering.

Kulfi Balls

Ahem, no it's not some fancy dessert but kulfi balls embellished with lots of dry fruits. This will be an on-demand dessert guys.

Mehendi Macaroons + Cookies

This one is just a spin-off on those cute cake pops but really, fun cookies and orange or rose-flavoured macaroons can really make the wedding food basket pop. Available at: Eclairs★ 4.9

Chuski in New Flavours

Why not? Choose Moroccan glasses to make it pop and add new flavours like rose, jal jeera or pani puri ras, mango or even masala soda. Yummers!

Rabdi, Anyone?

Super simple way to serve the usual - add a martini glass, stuff at the bottom with gajar halwa and add rabdi on top - looks like a French dessert, innit?

Candy Wala

A candy cart is a cute way to keep things fun - but we say load it up with Indian ideas. Chocolates like: Pan Pasand, Lemon/ Orange Hard Candy Drops, Imli sweets, Melody chocolate, Tutti Frutti, Kissme, Poppins, Gems and 5 Star.
