Direct answer

Verify the current rule for the event's jurisdiction and ask the relevant authority or venue how the proposed menu is classified.

A phrase such as one dish can have a specific legal definition, scope and exceptions; it should not be interpreted from the number of serving bowls or another wedding's practice. Check the applicable law and any current notification before contracting the caterer. Punjab's official source is a starting point for Punjab, not proof that identical restrictions apply throughout Pakistan.
