- Biryani and rice preparations
- Breads

The final selection should balance richness with variety so the menu does not feel too heavy.
Al-Barkat Caterers can discuss Mughlai catering for small family functions as well as large-scale events.
Begin with Kebabs, Tandoor & Small Plates
Starters can set the tone for the entire Mughlai menu.
Depending on the confirmed menu, this section may include:
- Kebabs
- Tandoori preparations
- Grilled starters
- Vegetarian kebabs
- Paneer starters
- Accompaniments and chutneys
The exact dishes should be selected from Al-Barkat Caterers’ actual available menu.

Depending on venue infrastructure and the selected menu, live preparation may include:
- Vegetarian kebabs
- Paneer
- Tandoori items
- Non-vegetarian kebabs
- Grilled preparations
These counters can work particularly well at weddings, receptions and Sangeet functions.

- Dal
- Rice preparations
- Biryani
