These are supposed to be empanelled vendors, meaning that if other people don’t bid for the tender, one of these will be chosen to feed our guests. To find out the cost, I called Anand Chat Chopal and told them I was hosting a Diwali party for 400 people, recited the menu and asked for an estimate. The chatty chap on the other end told me it would be Rs 40 per item, with even water counted as an item by the way.
