The first impression at any event often begins with what’s served in the glass. At Sri Lakshmi Caterers, we believe in starting every celebration with the refreshing and traditional welcome drinks of Andhra Pradesh, each one designed not just to quench thirst, but To ensure your guests feel completely comfortable and welcomed
A traditional favorite, Panakam is one of the most beloved drinks we offer. Made with jaggery, dry ginger, cardamom, and a splash of lemon, this sweet and slightly spiced drink is a staple during festive occasions and poojas. It cools the body and awakens the palate, especially appreciated on warm Bangalore afternoons.
Following that is the uniquely tangy Pachi Pulusu, a traditional raw tamarind drink brought to life with a tempering of onions, green chilies, and coriander. It’s light, flavorful, and carries a bold Andhra kick, perfect for those who enjoy a punch of spice right from the start.
Majjiga, or traditional spiced buttermilk, is a timeless classic. Blended with green chili, ginger, curry leaves, and mustard seeds, this drink not only refreshes but also aids digestion. It’s particularly loved at summer weddings and poojas.
Also on the menu is the refreshing Nannari Sherbet, a traditional drink made from the aromatic roots of the Nannari herb. Known for its cooling properties, this drink is a natural coolant and a sweet treat guests remember long after the event.
Together, these welcome drinks showcase the warmth, tradition, and rich food culture of Andhra, setting the perfect tone for the flavorful meal to follow.
Andhra cuisine is known for its bold and spicy flavors, and our starters bring that excitement to your plate right from the beginning. Each offering is designed to delight the senses and provide a flavorful introduction to your dining experience.
A standout starter is the classic Mirchi Bajji: green chilies enveloped in a spiced chickpea flour batter, fried to golden perfection, crisp on the outside, warm and bold within. For a softer bite, the Vankaya Bajji offers crispy eggplant fritters that melt in your mouth.
Our signature Guntur Idli is a crowd favorite, mini idlis coated in aromatic Guntur chili powder and ghee, delivering that classic Andhra punch. And no starter spread is complete without Gutti Vankaya, brinjals stuffed with flavorful Andhra masala, pan-fried until tender and rich.
For true spice lovers, we also recommend our Andhra style brinjal fry and Andhra style gutti vankaya kura, traditional, fiery, and full of flavor.
Andhra cuisine offers wholesome, rustic bread options that are deeply rooted in tradition and health. Unlike the common wheat-based rotis of North India, Andhra breads are made using millets and grains that are rich in nutrition and flavor.
One such staple is Ragi Sangati, soft finger millet rice balls that pair beautifully with hot pappu (dal) and a drizzle of ghee. It’s simple, filling, and perfect for both festive meals and daily dining.
Another classic is Jonna Rotte, or jowar roti, a hearty flatbread that complements spicy gravies and chutneys, especially during traditional functions or family gatherings.
To enhance these breads, we serve them with iconic Andhra sides like Andhra style mango pickle, tangy, spicy, and unforgettable, and karam podi, a fiery spiced powder that adds instant heat and flavor.
Together, these breads and accompaniments offer a true taste of rural Andhra, bringing comfort and tradition to your plate.
The heart of any Andhra-style meal lies in its main course, a vibrant combination of spiced rice dishes, wholesome lentils, and flavorful vegetable sides. At Sri Lakshmi Caterers, we bring together a feast that celebrates Andhra’s rich vegetarian culinary heritage with a spread that is both comforting and festive.
We begin with our range of Andhra Style Flavoured Rice varieties. The highlight is our Veg Biryani, long-grained basmati rice layered with seasonal vegetables and slow-cooked in traditional Andhra masalas, offering deep flavors and a fragrant aroma.
For those who love tang and spice, we offer Tomato Rice, Vangi Bath (brinjal rice), and the ever-popular Pulihora, made with tamarind pulp, green chilies, and mustard seeds. For something truly special, don’t miss our Gongura Pulihora, a bold, tangy preparation made with sorrel leaves that’s unique to Andhra cuisine and cherished by Telugu households.
Complementing these rice dishes are soul-satisfying lentil options. Our Andhra style palak pappu is a must-try, spinach and toor dal cooked with garlic and tempered with red chilies, making it both nutritious and flavorful. We also serve Andhra-style tomato pappu, a comfort food favorite made with ripe tomatoes, soft dal, and a finishing ghee tadka.
To round out the plate, we add sides like Andhra style potato fry, thinly sliced potatoes tossed in chili powder, turmeric, and curry leaves until crisp and golden brown.
Together, these dishes create a hearty and authentic Andhra-style meal, perfect for weddings, family functions, or religious events. Every spoonful reflects tradition, taste, and the warm hospitality Andhra cuisine is known for.
What’s an authentic Andhra meal without the vibrant mix of chutneys, tangy pickles, and flavorful spice powders? We serve the fiery Andhra-style tomato pachadi, made with ripe tomatoes, red chilies, and tempered mustard seeds, perfect with hot rice or roti.
Classic accompaniments like coconut chutney, peanut chutney, and a variety of podis (spiced powders) add extra layers of taste and texture. One of the all-time favorites is our Andhra-style mango pickle, bursting with tangy, spicy flavor. These side dishes aren’t just condiments, they’re essential flavor boosters in every authentic Andhra vegetarian feast.
Every grand Andhra meal deserves a sweet ending, and our desserts are just the way to do it. At Sri Lakshmi Caterers, we prepare traditional Andhra sweets that bring warmth, nostalgia, and joy to every celebration.
One of our signature sweets is Poornalu, deep-fried rice flour dumplings filled with jaggery and chana dal, served hot with a touch of ghee. It’s a festive favorite during weddings and religious functions.
Another classic is Bellam Pongal, a sweet rice dish made with jaggery, moong dal, and cashews, offering the perfect balance of sweetness and richness.
For lighter options, we serve semiya payasam (vermicelli kheer) and palathalikalu, a unique Andhra-style rice flour dessert simmered in milk and sugar, loved across generations.
Each sweet is prepared with traditional methods and fresh ingredients, ensuring an authentic taste your guests will remember long after the event.
