<p>In Delhi, we don&#39;t merely go to weddings&mdash;we arrive famished and optimistic. And if the appetizers don&#39;t cut it, you can be sure aunty-ji is sharing her criticism beforehand for round two of mocktails. So when organizing your wedding menu in May, particularly in the sweltering world of South Delhi and Gurgaon, appetizers are where the magic starts. They&#39;re the teaser, the pre-biryani promise, the crispy, chatpata greeting before the shaadi dinner embrace.</p>

<p>Here&#39;s how to begin your May wedding menu with appetizers that will make guests say, &quot;Bas, starters hi kaafi the!&quot;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Keep It Cool (Literally and Figuratively)</strong></h2>

<p>Delhi heat in May is not for the faint of heart, and neither should your menu be. Cold starters are where it&#39;s at. Imagine chilled cucumber shots topped with mint foam, watermelon feta skewers, or pani puris filled with yogurt. These light, hydrating bites are the epitome of the unexpected&mdash;ideal for a sunny sangeet night in Gurgaon or a dappled garden mehendi in South Delhi.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>The Chaat Counter Comeback</strong></h2>

<p>No Delhi wedding is complete without a chaat counter, but in May, you&rsquo;ve got to get creative. Give guests mini matar kulcha cups, dahi bhalla mousse, or live palak patta chaat frying on the spot. The live counter drama, the crunch, the tang&mdash;it&rsquo;s a sensory win. And let&rsquo;s face it, nothing brings North Indian hearts together quite like a great plate of chaat.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Go Global, Stay Local</strong></h2>

<p>Delhiites adore a global touch&mdash;but only if it gets the masala approval. So while you might be tempted to serve Thai spring rolls or Lebanese falafel wraps, put your own twist on them. Paneer tikka quesadillas, Amritsari fish tacos, or tandoori broccoli with a wasabi mayo dip&mdash;this is fusion that pays and has people talking from Saket to Sohna Road.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Vegan &amp; Jain Friendly (Yes, People Actually Ask for This Now)</strong></h2>

<p>South Delhi and Gurgaon catering translates to your guest list being everyone from your butter chicken-addicted uncle to your gluten-free startup buddy. Adding a few considerate, well-marked vegan and Jain options in the starter section isn&#39;t being polite&mdash;it&#39;s necessary.</p>

<p>Experiment with tandoori mushrooms, beetroot tikki sliders, and hummus with veggie chips. They&#39;re inclusive and, if done well, just as decadent as the originals.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Wrap Up: Set the Tone, Not Just the Table</strong></h2>

<p>In the grand buffet that is an Indian wedding, appetizers are the match that ignites the fire. So whether you&#39;re hosting a day wedding in Gurgaon or an evening wedding in South Delhi, make your appetizer menu memorable.</p>
