 Indian Catering Service, serving Indian Snacks to perfection.

India is fondly called a curry nation but it’s not just curries that define what's good about Indian culinary art. Indian snacks or rather Indian street food are also popular worldwide. The spicy and tangy flavors from best offerings in Indian snacks are finding a place for themselves in restaurants across the globe. However, these dishes have evolved over the years to make them globally appealing and healthy as well. Many Indian Catering services are serving these on an international platform.

Modish Catering, the Indian Catering Service based in Toronto offers a wide range of authentic Indian snacks in its “House of Chaat” section. A mouth watering blend of taste and aroma, Indian snacks appreciated for their adaptability to local tastes and appetites while still retaining their original structure.

As we talked about variations, we see different trends being followed to make these snacks tastier and healthier in many aspects. Indian Catering services, like Modish Catering, can make this genre of Indian food apt for calorie watchers as well. For an instance, white bread crumbs used in preparation of a tikki are promptly replaced by brown bread crumbs to give a grainy texture while retaining authentic taste and aroma. Similarly, pav used in pav bhaji can be substituted with a whole wheat version. Use of olive oil while shallow frying can also infuse a different flavor in dishes while bringing in an element of Mediterranean diet. The favorite of all remains gol gappa, or puchka as fondly called in Bengal, which is the reigning king of Indian street food.

On the whole, however, Indian snacks are quite a healthy substitute for calorie laden fast foods. Veggies added in Bhaji (pav bhaji) and side dressing of tikki makes them a good way to add more vegetables in diet.

On the whole, Indian snacks can be relished any time one wants without fretting on the health quotient. If you are in Toronto and craving for some delicious and piping hot aloo tikki, Modish Catering is the way to go that offers the best Indian snacks in Toronto.

What does traditional Mughlai dishes bring to the table?

Before we talk about what Mughlai dishes offer in terms of taste, it's good to know about the history of Mughlai food and from where it originated. Mughlai art of cooking was introduced by Mughals around the middle of Sixteenth Century in India. Mughals were Turco-Mongols who reinvented the local dishes of natives with their own style to come up with this culinary style.

As the story goes, when Mughals settled on the banks of Yamuna in Delhi, water of river Yamuna according to hakeems ( Mughal medical practitioners since medieval times) was not fit for digestive system. So it was advised that certain spices and condiments to be added in the food to aid with digestion and to nil the harmful effects of water as much as possible. But too much use of spices had its own disadvantage. To reduce that, generous use of ghee ( clarified butter) was advised and so a new class of Mughlai dishes was born.

So when you go for Mughlai dishes, expect a mild to spicy treat that is made relishing with use of selected herbs and spices, specific for each dish. Many different spices such as cloves, star anise, black pepper, white pepper, dalchini, nutmeg, asafoetida, cumin seeds, carom seeds, Nigella seeds and many more are used in specific proportions to bring out a balanced flavor in dishes. The use of cardamom, coriander (cilantro ), mint and other such herbs and seeds bring out the aroma of a dish. Both these elements work in harmony to result in a dish with right amount of flavor and aroma to appease your palate.

Mo’dish Catering brings to you the exotic flavors of Mughlai food in both vegetarian and non vegetarian  variants in the former of kebabs, koftas, pulao( pilaf) and many more. Our Mughlai section is loaded with wonderful taste and aroma to give you the authentic medieval feel.
