Dakshin Delights......the food fest is on for ten days at #Blooms, Eros Nehru Place. Master Chef Alankar is here from Tamil Nadu to bring delicacies from that region, started yesterday with cultural program. Artists performed the dance forms from South India. Although it was hot in the evening outside at the venue, but by the time it started, it was quiet tolerable.
Started with Coffee, South Indian style which the Chef juggled in front of us, was perfect. Panakkam.....this drink made with Jaggery, Ginger and Cardmom was quiet intersting whereas Majiga....the Buttermilk was a bit disappointing.
Koli Porechettu.....fried Chicken in Kerala style, Steamed Fish in Nilgiri style and Venclina Mamsam.... Telangana style Mutton were the starters, we tried.
Appam .....the Coconut milk added to the Rice batter to make Appam,....soft, served with Veg and Chicken Stew, was good.
Nellor Chicken Biryani done in Andhra style, Malabar Koli Chicken Curry, had with Malabar Paratha. For Vegetarians, there are options with number of dishes like Bringal Bharta, Andhra style, Dal Palak...... The menu will change everyday during the fest.
For the dessert, had Apple Halwa.
Had a wonderful time with team Eros for the courtesies extended.
