Duggal Caterers

We run things from H No-2364/1 in Sector-40 C. It’s a residential area, so it feels more like a big family kitchen than a corporate business. Duggal Caterers is usually full of the smell of frying onions and spices by eight in the morning. We have these massive stainless steel pots that take two people to move when they are full. Our team is a small group of people who have been cooking together for a long time. We don’t have a big front desk or anything like that. Usually, there are crates of fresh vegetables being delivered at the gate or someone is counting out the plates for a dinner party. The floors stay scrubbed but there is always a bit of steam in the air. We spend our time checking the heat on the stoves and making sure the delivery van is packed right so nothing spills on the road. It’s a lot of manual labor, peeling sacks of potatoes and stirring large vats of gravy until the consistency is just right. Sometimes the kitchen gets a bit loud when everyone is rushing to finish an order. We take notes on scraps of paper or in a worn-out diary. It’s just about making decent food and getting it to the venue while it is still hot. We’ve been in this spot for a while now and the neighbors know us by the clatter of the pans.
