  • Appetizing Starters

Start the feast with light yet flavorful appetizers to please everyone’s appetite. Paneer Tikka grilled to perfection are an all-time favourite. However, Vegetable Pakoras or Stuffed Aloo Tikki are perfect if you want to please your sibling.
    • Scrumptious Main Courses

For the main course, offer a variety of dishes that appeal to different tastes. A hearty meal with the whole family together is what this festival is known for. Dishes like Palak Paneer, Dal Makhani, Stuffed Parathas and Chicken Biryani are all time favorites.

However, if you want to add a twist, you can always create Indian fusion dishes such as Truffle Roti, Avacado Sev Puri, Thai Pani Puri or even Mexican wraps. Pick up ready spices, dips & many such mixes at a Rakhi Exhibition in Mumbai.

    • Delightful Desserts

No festive meal is complete without satisfying desserts to round off the flavors. The all-time favorites are of course Indian traditional sweets like Gulab Jamun, Rasmalai, Fruit Chaat or even a Kesar Pista Kulfi. But if you have a family with different tastes, it may not be a bad idea to add Nutella Waffles or Fruit Pie to this menu.
    • Special Touches

Enhance your Rakhi brunch with thoughtful touches that reflect the spirit of the occasion:

  • Decor: Adorn your table with colorful rangolis or fresh flower arrangements for a festive ambiance.

  • Rakhi Themed Sweets: Gift beautifully packaged sweets or chocolates as tokens of love exchanged between siblings.

  • Music: Play traditional or contemporary Indian music softly in the background to create a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.
