An X user said she attended an engagement ceremony where the couple ordered food for guests via Swiggy

In Indian weddings, a halwai was usually considered an integral part of the celebrations. Most of us, growing up, have seen teams of halwais with their large cauldrons to cook matar paneer or fry up puris for hundreds of wedding guests. In time, the halwai was slowly replaced by caterers in some weddings. Now, we may be witnessing another evolution in Indian wedding food – ordering dishes online.
