  • Non-Veg; Butter Chicken is must: As in English Alphabet, we call B is for Balloon, Punjabis will say, B is for Butter Chicken. So, be prepared and must know how to cook a delicious Butter Chicken.
  • Ji should be the suffix while addressing: Like they say, “Sardaarpiche Ji jaroorlagaida,” similarly, if you are addressing anybody in your family, make sure you are like, mummy ji, papa ji, didiji, etc. Your in-laws can feel offended if not so.
  • You must know how to cook Makke Di Roti, Sarso da Saag: Typically, a Punjabi cuisine which every woman knows how to cook is, Makke Di Roti and Sarso Da Saag. But for a Punjabi groom, no one can match the taste and skills of his Beeji (mother).
