<p>There is something enchanting about monsoon weddings in South Delhi and Gurgaon. The aroma of rain on new mehendi, the twinkling of fairy lights on water-drenched leaves, and the ring of laughter through intimate mandaps&mdash;August weddings have their own poetic appeal. But if there is one aspect that really makes a memorable shaadi during the rainy season, it&#39;s the food.</p>

<p>And not any food&mdash;comfort food. The kind which makes you feel like sighing with happiness with the first bite. The kind which cuts through the cold in the air and brings a bit of warmth to your plate. If you&#39;re getting wed this August, it&#39;s time to pull out the big guns of feel-good flavors and nostalgic bites.</p>

<p>In monsoon weddings, the starter counter is where the magic starts. Ditch the dainty bites and opt for bold, full flavours. Think:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Piping hot pakoras in all its avatars&mdash;paneer, onion, palak, and even stuffed mirchi</li>
	<li>Tandoori aloo and bharwan mushrooms fresh off the grill</li>
	<li>Mini rajma tikkis drizzled with imli chutney</li>
	<li>Vegetable tempura for a crispy touch of fusion flavor</li>
</ul>

<p>These are the snacks that disappear in seconds, particularly when served with a steaming masala chai or adrak wali chai in adorable kulhads.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Mains That Hug You Back</strong></h2>

<p>Comfort food tastes different when it&#39;s raining outside and you&#39;re cozy within a nicely done venue in Gurgaon or South Delhi. This is where you go all out on warm, homestyle food&mdash;just fancy enough to be wedding-worthy.</p>

<ul>
	<li>Dal makhani slow-cooked for hours and creamy and rich</li>
	<li>Butter chicken with that precise tomato-cream ratio</li>
	<li>Kadhi chawal gourmet-style with pakora bites and a saffron finish</li>
	<li>Baingan bharta accompanied by ghee-laced phulkas</li>
	<li>Paneer lababdar because no wedding in Delhi is complete without it</li>
</ul>

<p>To add some luxury, include a live khichdi bar. Yes, you read that correctly. From simple ghee khichdi to palak-corn and masala tadka versions, it&#39;s the ultimate comfort corner guests didn&#39;t know they needed.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Spoons, Sweets &amp; Steamy Finishes</strong></h2>

<p>Dessert is where you get to really milk the snug and familiar theme. Opt for warm, comforting things that put people in good humor:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Gajar halwa or moong dal halwa, hot off the fire and served fresh</li>
	<li>Gulab jamun filled with dry fruits or rabri</li>
	<li>Malpua with rabri, because why not?</li>
	<li>Hot jalebis off a live counter, crisp and syrupy, onto your plate straightaway</li>
</ul>

<p>To give it a little modern twist, you can have rasmalai mousse or kulfi falooda shots that unite tradition and trend in a single spoonful.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Don&#39;t Forget the Drinks</strong></h2>

<p>No, not the cocktails&mdash;we&#39;ll be getting to those soon. Currently, let&#39;s discuss warm drinks which make your guests feel pampered.</p>

<ul>
	<li>Masala chai station with toppings such as elaichi, tulsi, or lemongrass</li>
	<li>Filter coffee bar for that South Indian soul touch</li>
	<li>Kadha-like immunity teas that are tastier than they are names (actually)</li>
</ul>

<p>Cozy cups of drink accompanied by snacks beneath canopies in Gurgaon&#39;s green farm locations? That&#39;s the sort of ambiance Pinterest boards have fantasies about.&nbsp;</p>

<p>August weddings in Gurgaon and South Delhi have their own set of challenges&mdash;rain delays, wet entrances, flying umbrellas&mdash;but with comfort food in your corner, your guests won&#39;t care about any of it. They&#39;ll even thank you for the pakoras, the tea, and the generous ladlefuls of dal-chawal that transported them back to their childhood homes.</p>

<p>So, ditch the ultra-fancy, impossible-to-pronounce dishes. This monsoon, let your wedding menu wrap everyone in a warm, delicious hug.</p>
