In our country, food forms an integral part of every occasion. When it comes to weddings, we stop at nothing. At Indian weddings, the food that is served is expected to be very grand and lavish. Nowadays, the spread is not just limited to tried-and-tested dishes from one particular region. As a result it is a buffet that would at times exceed all imagination. But, then there are also those are conscious about what they eat. We are talking about those who are health conscious or are on diet. Yes, many people who are watching their weight often end up returning empty stomach from the weddings. It’s only fair that you keep all your guests in mind. Wedding Affair brings to you some amazing ways to include healthy food in your wedding menu.
Salad Bar
In case you are of the notion that salads don’t have any significant role to play in Indian weddings, we would urge you to hold your thoughts and eliminate them right away as your health conscious menu starts with salads itself. For people following a strict diet regimen, setting up a salad bar comprising of numerous exotic fruits and veggies would be an excellent option. You can also add live counters. Live counters give you the liberty to make your own food. The amount of oil, seasonings and herbs you want in your food would be solely added based on your preference as you would be the creator of your own dish. This will surely win the hearts of one and all.
Bite Sized Snacks
From mini lobster rolls, to grilled cheese bites, and tiny churros, proved that small versions of the classics often have maximum impact. Others, like one bride’s paper cones of fries and another’s packets of popcorn, turned those classics into the ultimate snacks—which made them compact enough to tote around during the cocktail hour. On the sugary front, ready-to-roast s’mores, ice cream sandwiches and waffle cakes will satiate the sweet tooth. You can also include serve bite-sized spicy waffles, with dollops of sour cream, corn, and cilantro in your amazing menu. These varieties will have your guests flocking to the guest counter without any guilt whatsoever. Your menu will be followed by many in functions to come. Make sure you have personally sampled everything you include in your menu. That ways you will be sure of the quality ans taste.
Something From Every Cuisine
Your food does not choose you. You choose your food. Every cuisine has loads of foods that are fresh and nutritious. For example: South Indian- steamed idlis, oil-free dosas, oil-free uttapams, appams with sambhar, grilled fish, steamed fish, you could ask for green chutney; Chinese- vegetable soup (preferably a clear soup or lemon grass soup), sautéed greens, steamed or sautéed vegetables with a very small portion of steamed rice, steamed fish/chicken with lots of vegetables like tofu and mushrooms, starters like lettuce wraps;Italian- minestrone soup, tossed salad with Italian dressing, whole-wheat pasta tossed in arrabbiata (tomato) sauce with lots of vegetables and no cream, thin crust whole-wheat pizza with vegetable toppings and no cheese. Sounds yum, right?
