We still use them today because metal conductivity and heat retention significantly impact how our sambar and rasam develop their depth. It is not about nostalgia; it is about precise, traditional culinary physics that modern stainless steel simply cannot replicate. ### Our Roots in Bengaluru We started in 1963 with a simple vision from my father: ruchi and shuchi. Our journey is documented in these old receipts and delivery notes, not just in our memories. When you hire us for a wedding, festival, or house pooja in Bengaluru, you are getting that same commitment we established over six decades ago. ### The Wood-Fire Difference We still cook our main gravies over a wood fire. This imparts a subtle smokiness and depth that gas burners simply cannot achieve. It is a slower process and requires more labour, but it is the only way to deliver the authentic Karnataka flavours we are known for. ### Quality in Every Detail - **In-house Spices:** We grind our own huli pudi (sambar powder) for every event. Freshly ground spices are the difference between a standard meal and a memorable one. - **Traditional Service:** To maintain the cultural sanctity of our traditional feasts, our staff serves in authentic panche and peta. - **Heritage Equipment:** From the brass vessels to the aluminium kettles, our kitchen tools are chosen for their function and history. We believe the way food is cooked is just as important as the ingredients themselves. Whether you are planning a small family function or a grand wedding, we bring the same rigour and respect to every kitchen we set up. ## About Rangarao Caterers I am the second generation carrying forward the vision my father started in 1963. For us, catering is about keeping our roots alive through every plate we serve in Bengaluru. We treat every event as if we are feeding family, keeping the same rigorous standards of purity we established decades ago.
