Are you planning a traditional wedding? Remember that what stands out in every Indian wedding is the food. Along with other arrangements that make a wedding successful in India, the guests mostly speak about their dining experience.
What if you make an impression right at their arrival with some mind-blowing Indian savories? A wedding menu remains incomplete without the crispy, spicy snacks full of flavors. Let’s find out some quintessential savory dishes of traditional India.
1. Samosa
There is hardly any Indian who does not enjoy nibbling a samosa. This triangular fritter with peas and a spicy, boiled potato curry filling is heaven for all. However, non-veg samosas, where the filling contains meat, are no less.
Since we have samosas for all big and small events, how can your traditional Indian wedding be an exception? Don’t break the convention. Serve it with tamarind or pudina chutney as tastemakers.
2. Dhokla
This steamed snack originates in Gujarat and is perfect for almost all traditional Indian weddings. Delicious and mouth-watering, this savory dish is prepared from rice batter and chickpea flour.
Boiled green unchopped chilies with mustard seeds, coriander, and curry leaves are responsible for its mouth-watering garnishing. These spices add an unearthly flavor to the snack, making it all healthy. Tamarind chutney makes the snack even more tasty.
3. Pani Puri (Gol Gappa/Phuchka)
It is a popular Indian street food, a must-try at almost every Indian wedding. The main attraction of this snack is the small crispy puris served with a filling of boiled potatoes and chickpeas, spices, and tamarind puree. While serving, tamarind water is also added to each puri.
The tamarind water is not plain and is usually made tasty with mint, salt, and spices. Generally, guests enjoy this savory taste as they can crack jokes while popping a puri into their mouth. So, a pani puri stall will surely make your wedding a hit.
4. Aloo Tikki
Almost everyone, irrespective of their age, loves this classic Indian street food. It is a traditional patty made from spiced boiled potatoes. Each one is shallow-fried and served in a crispy form when it turns golden.
Primarily, spicy green and sweet tamarind chutneys enhance the taste of this snack. However, you can arrange other toppings, like sev, yogurt, etc., to make it look yummy. This savory will make your wedding unforgettable for the guests.
5. Vada Pav
This street food originates from Maharashtra. Generally, vada pav is prepared by placing spicy potato fritters inside a bun, served with a sweet tamarind chutney.
If you want to serve something other than the usual samosas and pani puris, vada pav will be a good choice. The soft bun with the spicy filling and taste of the chutney together make the snack a delight for many! Indeed, your wedding will amaze everyone.
