As the Mumbai sky fills with colorful kites and the breeze carries the scent of festive treats, Makar Sankranti marks the first major celebration of 2025. While traditional Til-Gul is a staple, modern Mumbai hosts are taking their celebrations to the terrace with sophisticated sundowners and curated menus.
If you’re planning a kite-flying party in Bandra or a sunset gathering in South Mumbai, here’s how to blend tradition with luxury for Makar Sankranti catering Mumbai.
1. The Art of the Terrace Sundowner
Makar Sankranti is all about the outdoors. Instead of a heavy sit-down lunch, opt for a Sundowner Menu. As the sun sets over the Arabian Sea, offer your guests light, bite-sized appetizers that are easy to eat while holding a kite string.
2. Tradition Meets Global: The Sesame Twist
We love honoring tradition with a Cibo! twist.
- The Fusion Appetizer: Try our Honey-Sesame Glazed Chicken Skewers or Sesame-Crusted Paneer Cubes with a spicy plum dip. It’s a nod to the mandatory “Til” (sesame) requirement of the festival but served with international flair.
- Modern Comfort: Incorporate jaggery into savory sauces for a subtle, earthy sweetness that mimics the festive spirit.
3. High-Energy “Kite-Flying” Snacks
Kite flying is intense! Your guests need high-energy, mess-free fuel.
- Cibo Express Sliders: Our mini Butter Chicken Sliders or Falafel Pockets are perfect “hand-held” foods that don’t require cutlery, making them ideal for a busy terrace party.
- The Sushi Station: Surprisingly, sushi is a favorite for Mumbai terrace parties because it remains fresh in the open air and provides a clean, light energy boost.
4. Stay Hydrated in Style
The January sun can be deceptively strong. Set up a Refreshing Hydration Station featuring:
- Fresh Coconut Water with Mint & Lime.
- Kokum Sherbet Spritzers for a local, nostalgic touch.
- Iced Hibiscus Tea for a sophisticated floral note.
5. Hosting Without the Hassle
The best part of Makar Sankranti is being part of the “Kai Po Che!” cheers. By hiring Cibo! Gourmet Catering, you get a professional team to manage the refills and cleanup, so you can stay focused on the sky.
