Feeding a crowd is easier than it sounds. Indian food is made for sharing, and a few well-chosen trays can cover a birthday, a puja, a satsang, an office lunch or a game-day spread. Here's how to plan it.
Start with a mix
A good spread usually has four parts:
- Something to snack on: mini samosas, paneer pakora, aloo pakora or idli.
- Something fresh and tangy: sev puri, dahi bhalla or a salad tray.
- Something filling: aloo bhaji, paneer tikka, rice, parathas, puri or roti.
- Something for the kids: fries, potato wedges or onion rings.
How much to order
A rough rule for a meal (not just snacks): plan on 3 to 4 snack pieces per person, plus one bread (paratha, puri or roti) or a scoop of rice per person, plus a main like aloo bhaji or paneer tikka. If it's an appetizer-only event, double the snacks. When in doubt, call us at (410) 381-0011 and tell us your headcount.
What travels best
- Travels great: idli, mini samosas, pakoras, parathas, rice, aloo bhaji, paneer tikka.
- Assemble on site: sev puri and other chaat are best when the crunchy parts stay crunchy. Eat them soon after pickup.
For pujas and religious gatherings
Everything we make is vegetarian and cooked in a dedicated vegetarian kitchen. If your gathering follows specific dietary practices, look at our Swaminarayan-friendly menu and mention it when you order so we can guide you.
