At Indian weddings I prefer simple foods like rice dal fresh vegetables and grilled items. Choose freshly cooked dishes that are served hot and avoid food that has been sitting out for long. Yogurt and fresh fruit can also be good lighter choices. Try to limit very oily fried foods and heavy creamy dishes. Drink clean bottled or filtered water and avoid too many sugary drinks.
At Indian weddings, choosing freshly prepared and properly cooked foods is generally a safer option. Hot rice dishes, dal, sambar, cooked vegetables, roti, idli, dosa, and freshly prepared curries are good choices when they are served hot. For desserts, freshly prepared sweets can be preferable to items that have been sitting out for a long time.
It is also wise to choose sealed bottled water, wash or sanitize your hands before eating, and be cautious with raw salads, cut fruits, uncooked chutneys, and foods kept at room temperature for extended periods. If you have food allergies or dietary restrictions, ask the catering staff about ingredients before eating.
Honestly, freshly cooked hot food is usually considered much safer at weddings compared to items kept outside for a long time.

Health freaks can enjoy Indian weddings by choosing grilled kebabs, fresh salads, paneer tikka, lentil dishes, fruit bowls, and whole rotis, which are healthy options that offer taste, nutrition, and fewer calories.
The reason behind this question is that, on an average a traditional Indian dish has at least 7 ingredients that often have various flavors or spicing that are heterogeneously combined so that each bite or mouthful can revel different combinations of flavor elements that burst upon the tongue at different times in the chewing process. The main distinctive factor about Indian food is the unique amalgamation of spices across different recipes. Indian cuisine is characterised by the extensive use of these spices, each imparting a unique flavor and making the dish uniquely aromatic. Also the way the in which the ingredients of the Indian Cuisines are paired is also a major reason which makes it distinctive.In Indian food all the ingredients has its own list of flavor compounds. In a recent research it has been found that in Indian Cuisine the ingredients are tended to mix in such a way that the flavors don’t overlap at all.

Weddings are fat affairs in India. Big fat Indian Weddings literally have three times the variety a restaurant serves on a normal day. Apart from food wastage what concerns health freaks most that what to eat or what not to eat. So, here are five foods a health freak can pick in the wedding to stay on their goal.
1. Fruit Salad
Calories: 100 to 150
The moment you enter the food hall this should be your first snack to eat. Have two good bowls of apples, peaches, kiwis, bananas and watermelons.
2.Roasted Dry Fruit Chaat
Calories:150 to 200
Another super healthy snack you must not skip. Have a bowl that consists healthy roasted raisins, sweet potato, cashews, pomegranate, various seeds, pista, peanuts and even makhanas.
3. Panner Tikka
Calories: 150
If you still have space to eat another snack then go for the Paneer tikkas. They are really healthy and if you want to keep it healthier, ask the chef to not use butter on them.
4. Tawa Daal and Tawa Roti
Calories: 300 to 400
It is most difficult choice one must make because ditching the dal makhanis and shahi paneer is not easy. However, there is a big difference in the amount of calories as the latter may have thrice the calories than the healthier options.
5.Badam Milk
Calories: 70
A lot of people think that it is a hefty drink and will be heavy on the stomach, it is quite healthy, high in proteins and low on calories.
