During an unprecedented year, many families have modified their traditions. While some families gather in masses, the global pandemic is not allowing for such things to occur. Unfortunately, in the best interests of all, small family gatherings are the norm for 2020. However, with smaller groups, traditional meal spreads also require a bit of modifying. This, is where Nashua restaurants are here to help.
Although you may be craving the authentic goodies and Grandma’s cookies, this is the year to step outside of the box. At India Palace, we are excited to offer a full catering menu sure to hit the spot at any holiday gathering. From vegan to authentically seasoned meat dishes and more sweets than one could imagine – we have your cravings covered.
Here is a look at a few options to make your 2020 holidays feast a memorable one!
Appetizers
Every successful gathering starts with appetizers. In fact, this part of the meal is the favorite part to many! The hardest part of appetizer is choosing a spread that leaves room for the next few courses!
- Pav Bhaji – A sure way to warm the soul during the cold winter season is with Pav bhaji. This popular street food is a spicy mix of vegetables generally served with a warm, fresh bun.
