Dietary
Jain, vegetarian, vegan and allergen handling
Pune guest lists almost always include pure vegetarian, Jain and no-onion-no-garlic eaters, and increasingly vegan and gluten-free guests. We run those as separate kitchen lines with their own utensils, oil and counters rather than as an afterthought tray at the end of the buffet.
Separate kitchen lines for vegetarian, Jain, satvik and vegan food, each with its own utensils, pans and fresh oil.
No onion, no garlic, no root vegetables on a Jain line — and the base gravies rebuilt rather than stripped.
Counter signage on every station with veg and non-veg marking and the major allergens named.
Fasting and upvas menus prepared with sendha namak, kept off the regular kitchen line entirely.
Full ingredient lists sent ahead where a guest has a nut, dairy, gluten or sesame allergy.
The dietary counters physically separated in the layout, with their own stewards who stay on that counter.

FAQs
Rajasthani Catering questions
Are the baatis baked live?
Yes, at a live counter — baked, cracked open, drowned in ghee and served hot with churma made alongside. Baatis carried in from a kitchen arrive hard.
Do you run a pure vegetarian Marwari kitchen?
Yes. For a Marwari function the entire event is pure vegetarian by default — no non-veg at the venue, separate transport, separate equipment.
You list laal maas. How is it kept away from the vegetarian food?
On a mixed booking the non-veg counter sits at the far end of the layout with its own stewards, chafing sets and serving spoons, and it is signposted. On a pure-veg booking it is simply not cooked.
How spicy is authentic Rajasthani food?
Laal maas and ker sangri are genuinely hot as they should be, and we cook them that way while keeping panchmel dal, gatte and the bread section mild, so both kinds of guest are fed properly.
Is traditional serveware included?
Brass and copper thali sets, kansa bowls and traditional counter styling are part of the setup for a thali booking. Specific rented props or a themed mandap look are quoted separately.
How far ahead should we book?
Six to ten weeks for October to February weddings and the Diwali corporate season. Outside that, two to three weeks is usually comfortable, and short-notice bookings taken when the kitchen has capacity.
Can we taste the menu before we confirm?
Yes. We arrange a tasting for confirmed enquiries, and the final dish list, spice levels and sweetness are locked after it rather than before. Sharing the date, venue and guest count gets you a written per-plate quote the same day.
