time for corporate parties. It is a wonderful opportunity indeed for companies to connect with their employees, clients and partners together in a festive atmosphere. Corporate catering services would stand out among a long list of factors that might make or break a Diwali celebration. A thoughtful menu selection can leave a lasting impression on your clients and employees, making it a memorable event.
Begin with Festive Appetisers
Appetisers set the tone for the entire meal, so why not welcome this meal in a fusion of traditional and contemporary flavours? Mini Samosas, which are filled with unbelievable fillings like feta cheese or beetroot, bring a new twist to the favourite. Dahi ke Kebabs, soft and creamy, are an excellent choice for vegetarians. For non-vegetarian guests, you can serve chicken malai tikka or Mutton Seekh Kebabs accompanied by a tasty Mint Chutney.
A New Menu for Main Course
The main course is where you can stamp your mark with your corporate events catering services. Paneer Butter Masala and Kaju Curry are excellent choices for that additional creamy flavouring to be served to vegetarian guests, but something different can be done by preparing it together with Aloo Bukhara Kofta. The classic Dal Makhani and Chhole Bhature become treats at any corporate event.
Of course, the main course will feature some winners for the non-vegetarians: delicious Butter Chicken or Laal Maas, Rajasthani Mutton Curry. You may also add Fish Moilee or Prawn Malai Curry to the menu to add a little of the coastal taste of India. Couple these dishes with an array of Indian breads like Butter Naan, Tandoori Roti or even Missi Roti.
Desserts Sugar Coat the Event
No Diwali party is complete without indulging in some sweet delights. The lists of sweet Indian treats include Gulab Jamun, Ras Malai and Malpua. Try the Rabri Tarts or Paan Panna Cotta for creative flavour with a modern twist, combining Indian flavours with a unique presentation.
Besides, a dessert table with miniature sweets such as Motichoor Ladoos, Chocolate Barfis and Kaju Katli can be conducive to guiltless indulgence for your guests. Sugar-free Phirni or Vegan Coconut Laddoos will fulfil the desire for the sweetness of Diwali for your diet-conscious guests.
Beverages to Keep Spirits High
Balance is the mantra when it comes to beverages. To start with, offer refreshing welcome drinks like Aam Panna, Jaljeera or Shikanji in the traditional manner. For cocktails and mocktails, you can prepare some wines, too. Be reminded that you will also have guests who do not consume alcoholic beverages.
