PSM Catering began not as a business, but as a heartfelt gesture of love and community. Gira Patel, a passionate home cook of Indian origin living in Bloomington, Illinois, started cooking for her close friends and neighbors during small gatherings, festivals, and family events. It wasn’t about income—it was about connection, culture, and the joy of sharing food.

What began as a helping hand quickly grew into something more. Friends who tasted her food encouraged her again and again, saying, “You should start your own catering service!” Inspired by their support and her deep love for cooking, Gira turned her personal passion into a purpose—and that’s how PSM Catering was born.
