Salame Jameel,
Last week a meeting was held by Ummal Kiraam of Poona for all FMB cordinators and caterers. It was collectively resolved by all that :
*As per farman of Aqa Moula TUS - We the caterers all over poona will strictly adhere to rule of 1 mithas, 1 kharas, Roti Tarkari, Jaman*
All mumineen of Poona to take note of the following points when hosting a jaman :
💠*Sodannu* - Sodannu should be only of layer of sugar ,layer of rice and layer of sugar. Other topping like flower petals, badam pista, or any kind of barfi/peda etc are not permitted.
💠*Mithas* - means only 1 mithas! Toping of icecreams allowed with flavoured syrups used for topping.Combination of ice cream and mithai or toping of icecream with either gulab jamun Or cheese cake or kaju paak or any other mithas by itself is not permitted. Kaju paak with basundi, Jalebi with Kheer etc not allowed. Just a few examples are given to understand the concept of 1 mithas. All similar items follow this list.
💠*Kharaas*- Should have only 1 type of kharas. A platter or combo of few different dishes - served in 1 dish doesn't count at 1 kharas. For example : Chicken tikka served with seekh is not allowed.
💠*Roti Tarkari* - Roti tarkari should be a proper gravy dish which can be eaten with roti or bread. It is more preffered to have wheat rotis. Any dish which can be a kharas by itself cannot be served with roti and counted as roti tarkari. 2 tarkaris - like bheja and kaleji gurda, or similar kinds of combinations cannot be served.
💠*Jaman - Main course* - can be a rice dish with a gravy or soup accompanied by 1 salad and aerated drinks/juices. Other additions from top viz tikkas, seekh etc are not permitted.
Paan, Fruit / Dry Fruit can be served after jaman. However paan icecream Or souffle cannot be served.
Along with above rules, as discussed - sigdis with coal, spirit lamps or any kind of live fire are not allowed for safety reasons.
Cakes (in birthday jaman) can be served as mithas - without icecream. However a separate cake cannot be served even after jaman.
Live counters after jaman - it is seen that live counters are set up serving another ice cream, tikkas, fruits, paan, coffee etc. *Pls note these counters are not permitted*.
If at all a counter is setup it may serve only coffee or tea or kahwa and nothing else with that.
Keeping food wastage in mind - Caterers to take care that no raw vegetables (which cannot be eaten uncooked) should be used for decoration/presentation. Recently tikkas and other kharas are served in eathern pots (matkas) and are sealed with _aato_ which is then thrown away. *This is not permitted. No Food wastage should be kept in mind at all times*
*Shitabi*
In shitabi jamans gol roti is kept which is counted as mithas. Many a times people serve gol rotis after majlis and put a separate mithas in thals. This is not permitted.
*Gol Roti counts as a mithas in shitabi jaman.*
Many a times - specially in mehendi/sakan jamans a buffet is setup and then nizam of 1 kharas 1 mithas is not followed. Extra dishes like pani puri and snacks are served. *Pls note even if for any reason a buffet/moghlai safra is arranged - the thumb rule of 1 mithas 1 kharas remains.*
Even in shaadi jamans - separate starters are served before the thaal to vehwans and also after jaman a fruit souffle or extra dessert is served in vehwan. *This is also not permitted.*
*Important*
Every Jaman taking place with Raza - whether in a jamaat khana, manzur shuda halls or personal homes or any other permitted venues - should have an approved menu form (with details of the dishes) bearing signature of - Aamil Saheb, Host, Caterer and FMB coordinator. This is the responsibility of the host to get the needed signatures.
Caterers should confirm order only after receiving a copy of this approved menu.
Neither should hosts demand outside this nizam from caterers nor should caterers suggest something outside nizam.
*Moula TUS farman and khushi is our highest priority!*
We look forward to collectively work towards these and gain khushi mubarak of Aqa Moula TUS.
Shukran
