Special Food on special occasional for loves ones

The caterer you call on might make that tandoori chicken or chicken razalla pretty well, but your regular guests must be knowing the menu by heart. As busy schedules increasingly keep us away from the kitchen and social obligations make us throw parties too often, it is time to move away from the old menu and show the guests how much of a food connoisseur you are.

To help set the table are a bunch of upcoming home delivery services that offer exclusive cuisines, fresh menus and healthy food. So, the next time you are craving for some dhansak, patrani macchi, Kolhapuri mutton or misal pav, there is no need to look up on Zomato how far a restaurant serving Parsi or Marathi food is. 

Just call Jyoti Watchmaker, whose delivery service Entertain@Home specialises in Gujarati, Marathi and Parsi cuisine. "Gurgaon and south Delhi is fast becoming home to young corporate professionals and couples, who are adventurous with their food and love to socialise, but don't always kitchen. Being increasingly health conscious, neither do they want to eat out at every occasion.

We offer them variety and nutrition in food," the homemakerturned-entrepreneur Jyoti explains. "Several Gujarati and Maharashtrian families have also started calling on us for the traditional weekend lunch, instead of dining out," she adds. Adding a twist to the usual north Indian fare is Megha Tuli's The Leaping Caravan. Another Gurgaon-based home delivery service that also caters to south Delhi, this Caravan journeys down Sher Shah's Grand Trunk Road to bring flavours from Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Punjab, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

If there is one thing Delhiites love as much as partying and good food, it is a great house party with plenty of yummy bites. As house parties get more creative and exciting, with professionally managed bars and kitchens, photo booths and DJs, the only thing lacking is variety in food. 

"As one of the most important trade routes, the road has inspired a great fusion of food and culture. The colourful caravans travelling along this road brought with them influences that helped shape what we today recognise as great food. The recipes we use are all hand-medowns from older generations," Tuli adds. While the Railway Chicken Curry on the menu has been prepared under the guidance of a gentleman who actually worked in the Railway kitchen back in the colonial days, the recipe for Dahi ke kabab is a well-guarded secret from a family in UP.

Tuli, a former hospitality professional, counts several young professionals among her frequent clients, some of whom even order twice a day.

 "When specialised cuisines are just a phone away, many prefer to eat at home," she says. The Sunday brunch may soon be an alien concept, with Nashta, the breakfast delivery chain, now open in Gurgaon. 

With a menu that covers Indian traditional dishes, english and continental cuisines, fresh juices and a whole lot of health and yummy options, few would now be willing to step out of home to get breakfast on a weekend. While these delivery chains function within the space between restaurants and momand-pop delivery outlets, the efforts involved are no less than that of a restaurant.
