Konkan cuisine is vast and beautiful just
like the Konkan coastal belts covering three major states – Maharashtra, Goa, and Karnataka. It’s high time we should
celebrate our local and regional cuisines of India. Having said that, Nook at
Aloft is having a ‘Grandiose Konkan Katta’ from 14th – 25th
Jan 2019 and I was invited for a fabulous
dinner here recently. The coastal cuisine is predominately about seafood and
that’s the main highlight of this festival along with the popular vegetarian
Konkan dishes. Though the taste of seafood fiesta I had at Kochi is still in my
mind, this was refreshed with best of best Konkan dishes created by Chef Amit
Rane and Chef Aniket Das.
What I loved most – I couldn’t stop eating
the Kolombi Bhaat (Prawns rice), and ‘Prawns and Potato curry’. The other
favorites includes - Kothimbir Wadi, Kelyache Kaap (Raw banana fritters), Bharlela
Paplet (Stuffed Pomfret fry), Tallelli
Mandelli (Rava coated crispy fish fry),
Kombdi Vade with Malvani Chicken curry, Kurlya che
kalwan (Crab curry), Malvani fish curry
with Ghavne (Neer Dosa), Bharleli Vaangi
(Stuffed brinjal), Jhunka Bhakar, Haldikolyanche Patholi (Sweet rice dumplings
steamed in Turmeric leaves). We finished our dinner with a glass of refreshing Sol
Kadhi.
For desserts,
we tried Modak, Gulab jamun, and Sev boondi. The taste
of colorful sev boondi reminded the days where we used to buy sweets for
₹1/-.
Overall I had a great dinner and would love
to visit again before the fest gets over. Guys… if you are in and around Cessna
Business Park, then please don’t miss this mouthwatering Konkan spread with
amazing seafood dishes. The buffet is available for lunch and dinner and it’s
priced at ₹1150/- + taxes (till 25th Jan 2019).
