15 unconventional desi dishes you should definitely have at your wedding
By Sana Lokhandwala



For a Pakistani wedding to be successful, we, the guests, can forgive anything except the variety of food you serve us. When we talk about your wedding five years down the line, we talk about it because the food was fantastic! To help those stuck in this matrimonial dilemma, madeeasy.com.pk has literally made life easy by giving us a variety of memorable, non-clichéd, wedding dishes that we can make use of. Here are some of our favourites:

Let’s start with some appetiser options:

This delightful fish doesn’t only fit the bill for classy and tasty, it works as both, an appetiser and main-course dish too! Here is the recipe here.

The ultimate desi appetiser, a wedding just isn’t complete without this. So while we know you’ve seen it around a lot, this is something a shaadi menu just can’t do without. You will find the recipes here and here.

Another List....................................

This is Pakistan. You must obviously serve a rice dish, but how do you serve a rice dish without making it a boring pulao or the conventional biryani? You surprise your guests – you give them the best of both worlds, and this Afghani pulao does exactly that. Here is how you do it!

Who doesn’t love Punjabi food? Sarson da saag, makai di Roti – wah wah! One bite and you experience the lush greenery of Punjab in your mouth. Try it out from here.

Surprised? Don’t be! Like we said earlier, seafood is a guaranteed winner and when people can have beef katakat and chicken katakat, you can take it a step further and serve them a fish katakat. This recipe is bound to impress!

We have had handi at weddings and we have had kebabs, but have you ever had them together? Yup, I bet your guests have never had Tarka Handi kebab. This dish does not only break the norms of cooking a kebab it is an exciting mix, breaking the norms of taste too! A great choice for those who are sick of the regular seekh-kebab and handi menu; a little twist and this is what you have.

Delectable, presentable and a favourite, this dish has all that it takes to be mouthwatering success. Serve with a hot piece of nan and you have a master piece! Here is how you can make it happen.

For all those meat-lovers out there, this dish is a clear winner. If made properly, these chops have the potential to steal the limelight from the bride and groom!!
