                                                                                                                                                                            South Indian: Rice-based, uses more coconut, curry leaves, mustard seeds, tamarind, and asafoetida. Popular dishes: dosa, idli, vada, sambar, rasam, uttapam, and coconut chutney. Generally lighter and more vegetarian-friendly. North Indian: Wheat-based (naan, roti, paratha), uses more dairy (paneer, cream, yogurt, ghee), tomatoes, onions, and dried spices. Popular dishes: butter chicken, dal makhani, paneer tikka, biryani, and naan. Generally richer and creamier. Minerva Indian Catering specializes in both

                                                                                                                                                                            Yes. Please inform us when you request a quote. We offer: Vegetarian: Most of our menu is vegetarian. Vegan: We can prepare dishes without ghee, cream, yogurt, or paneer (use oil, coconut milk, or tofu instead). Please note that our kitchen is not exclusively vegan (there may be cross-contamination from dairy). Jain (no onion, no garlic, no root vegetables): We have a separate Jain menu (uses asafoetida (hing) instead of onion/garlic). Please order at least 2 weeks in advance. Gluten-free: Many South Indian dishes are naturally gluten-free (dosa, idli, rice, sambar). For North Indian, we can substitute rice for naan.

                                                                                                                                                                            Yes, for weddings and large events (100+ guests) , we offer a complimentary tasting for the couple (or event host) after the deposit is paid. The tasting includes 6-8 dishes of your choice. For smaller events (birthdays, corporate), we do not offer free tastings, but you can order a small meal from our menu to sample the quality.
