Festival Cooking Made Easy: How ooloo Handles Holi, Diwali and Karva Chauth Meals
From gujiyas at Holi to puris at Diwali, festival prep can swallow your whole day. Here's how ooloo keeps the kitchen calm.
Anyone who has hosted Diwali knows the truth: the day belongs to the kitchen, not to the festival. ooloo built our Special Occasion Support service to give you the festival back.
How ooloo handles festivals
Two to three days before a major festival, you can book ooloo's extended-hour service. Trained kitchen executives arrive in branded aprons to handle the heavy lifting:
- Mass prep — peeling potatoes, soaking dals, prepping mathri dough.
- Frying station — gujiyas, puris, namkeen, kachoris.
- Bulk cooking — sabzi, dal, paneer dishes for 20+ guests.
- Cleanup — the part nobody wants.
Holi
Gujiya assembly lines, thandai prep, kanji vada, gulkand. Hire 1–2 executives for 4 hours each over two days. Total cost: roughly ₹2,800.
Diwali
Five days of guests means five days of cooking. ooloo's Monthly 2hr/day plan (₹8,999) suddenly looks like a bargain. Top up with extra hours on the main day.
Karva Chauth
Pre-dawn sargi and post-fast feast — both intense, neither convenient. ooloo executives arrive at 3:30 am for sargi prep, or stay till midnight for the feast.
What you pay
- 1 hour: ₹299
- 4 hours: ₹699
- Extra hour: ₹199
Most festival bookings are a 4-hour pack + 2 extra hours = ₹1,097. Compared to ordering 20 meals from a restaurant, it's the cheaper, fresher, more personal option.
