The thing that guests remember the most about celebrations is the food. A family get-together, a wedding celebration or an engagement can all be gradually improved with the right caterer. At Nila Caters, we think that good food should be delicious, well-planned and perfect for the occasion.
Engagement
Engagements are typically shorter events with greater interaction, thus the menu should be professional without being too heavy.
Menu ideas:
Welcome drinks like lime juice or fresh fruit juice
Light starters such as pazham pori, sukhiyan, ullivada, or vegetable cutlets
Live counters for dosa, appam or puttu with kadala curry
A simple meal with rice, sambar, avial, thoran, and pachadi
Desserts like payasam, unniyappam or mini boli
Wedding
A wedding reception usually needs a bigger spread that shows off the richness of Kerala food.
Main Course:
Traditional Kerala sadya served on banana leaves
Multiple payasams such as palada, ada pradhaman or semiya payasam
Well-balanced accompaniments including olan, kalan, erissery, kaalan and rasam
Separate counters for vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes if required
Non-vegetarian options like chicken curry, mutton roast, fish fry or fish curry
Consistency in taste and well arranged service are key when serving large numbers of guests.
Family Functions
For naming ceremonies, housewarmings, anniversaries, or birthday functions, food should feel familiar and comforting.
Simple rice meals with sambar, moru curry, thoran, and pickle
Breakfast menus with idli, dosa, appam, or idiyappam
Evening snack spreads with traditional fried items and tea
One special dish, such as biriyani or special payasam, to mark the occasion
These menus create a warm, homely experience that guests truly appreciate.
