About Catering for Parties & Events
I've always found my happy place in the kitchen, which is why I started Ammana Mane Oota—just means "Mother's Home Food" in Kannada. What I make is all about real, healthy, homemade vegetarian food, using recipes that feel like they came from your amma's (mom's) kitchen.
How I Cook
- No shortcuts: I grind my own masalas, make fresh sambar powder, even the pizza sauce is homemade.
- Fresh & wholesome: I use millets, ragi, jowar, and never add soda to the idlis. Every paratha or rotti is rolled by hand.
- I handle every order myself—whether it’s 10 or 100 rotis, so you get food made with care.
Event Catering, My Way
I cater for everything—birthdays, office lunches, festivals, small get-togethers, even big community events. You can pick:
- Packed meal boxes for events: Great for office or travel, every box is a full meal.
- Party food trays: For buffets, I’ll do large trays of classics like Paneer Butter Masala or pasta.
- Traditional banana leaf service: Want that full baale yelle oota (banana leaf meal) experience? We can talk!
Menu Highlights
- South Indian buffet catering: Akki Rotti, Jollada Rotti, Badnekayi Yennegayi, Bisibelebath, and more.
- North Indian: Stuffed parathas, Chole Batura, Aloo Dum Biryani, plus pastas and pizzas for those wanting something different.
- Starters to desserts: Samosas, pav bhaji, Shahi Pulav, Kashi Halwa, gulab jamun.
Kids' Party Friendly
Menus can be made mild for kids—soft rotis, simple paneer gravies, dal khichdi, whatever they’ll actually eat.
Food is just better when it feels like home. If that’s the vibe you want at your party, I’d love to cook for you.
