Mughlai cuisine is predominantly influenced by the cooking styles practiced during Mughal era. The cuisine offers an array of dishes ranging from spicy soups (shorbas) to ginger based roasted meats consisting of flavored sauces and butter based curries to kulfis and rabris giving you a wide variety of food to opt from. According to our experts Chef Sandeep and Chef Gurpreet This cuisine occupies a commanding position in popular cuisines of India due to its rich flavor and taste which tempts people to crave for it, especially at weddings.”

 

2. Cooking and Serving Challenges

Wedding food not only means cooking food to the goodness of finger licking but also complete justice has to be done to it when it comes to serving. Our experts say Use of Tandoor/Clay-oven and Barbeque for kebabs and tikkas is required. The challenge is to make sure that these starters are cooked to perfection (not too dry and over-cooked or left under-cooked) and served hot (in appropriate chafing dishes). Therefore, co-ordination between the chefs and service staff becomes of prime importance.”

 

3. Cost Effectiveness

For a well planned wedding budget can just not be ignored. The cost of the cuisine, therefore, is a major concern too. The flavor, aroma and the royal taste of the cuisine comes from the royal ingredients like milk, cream, nuts etc. Therefore it may not be a low-priced affair but then it’s worth it!
