Punjabi appetizers that open the event
Popular directions include paneer tikka, chicken tikka, seekh kebab, hara bhara kebab, samosa and Amritsari-style snacks. For weddings, consider how appetizers are passed, stationed or served from a live grill.
Build the main course around contrast
Pair a creamy dish such as paneer butter masala or butter chicken with dal, a drier vegetable, rice and breads. Add chole or kadhi depending on the event and guest preferences.
Fresh breads and tandoor planning
Naan, roti and kulcha are popular, but bread service affects logistics. Freshness, volume and venue kitchen access matter—especially for large guest counts.
Punjabi menus for weddings and corporate events
Weddings can support broader variety and live stations. Corporate lunches often benefit from fewer dishes, cleaner service and strong vegetarian coverage.
