As a Food Blogger I always get excited
about the various cuisines I come across. A recent
addition to my list is Garhwali cuisine from Uttarakhand. Kava at Fairfield by
Marriott, Rajajinagar is having a Garhwali Food Festival this week to celebrate
the cuisine from the land of holy rivers and valley of flowers. I was invited
for a preview and thoroughly enjoyed my first experience with delectable Pahari
dishes.
The ambiance is perfect for a relaxed meal and
the service at Kava is also great. They have decorated the restaurant according
to the festival theme and the first thing
you will notice will be the two beautiful women at reception, dressed in traditional
Uttarakhand attire.
As I am a pure non-vegetarian, my Thali had
the following dishes – Akrot Kebab, Jakhiya Paneer, Phannu (dish made of mixed
lentils), Pahari Rajma, Kafuli (Spinach and fenugreek leaves dish), Chakhor (Partridge)
Kebab, Pahari Murgi Aloo Tamatar Jhol (curry), Ghanuo Jhol (Lamb Shank), Teetar
Biryani, Jinnu ki roti, Pahari Lal Chawal,
Mandua (Finger millet) ki Roti, and Gahat ke
Parathe <3
Bhang ki chutney (Yes.. you read it
right!), Bhatt ki chutney, Amla chutney, Batuwe ka raita and Amchuri ( a sweet
and spicy version of Mango Murabba) were
my favorite accompaniments. Surprisingly this is the first time I had a Thali
without any fried items like papad or fritters and I really didn’t miss those.
For desserts, though there were plenty of
options I tried only Kheer, Coconut Barfi and the famous Bal Mithai (Chocolate
colored barfi made of sweetened khoya coated with sugar balls).
Along with Head Chef Aniket Das and other
Chefs, the man behind this fest is Chef Kripal Adhikari who is also from
Uttarakhand. So authenticity is guaranteed :) All the dishes were exceptional
when it comes to simplicity and taste. The sizzling flavors are still in my
mind and this experience will be cherished for a lifetime.
The Dinner buffet is priced at INR 949 +
Taxes. This festival is from 11th – 20th August and only
at Kava, Fairfield by Marriott, Rajajinagar. Don’t miss it!
