Food Mall at Bapuji Nagar has simultaneously launched two food festivals much to the delight of its customers from Friday. While ‘The Great Kebab Festival’ is underway at ‘Spice Garden’, the ‘Idli Dosa Festival’ is on at ‘Food Junction’. Both the festivals will continue for a month.

CHENNAI EXPRESS:

The ‘Idli Dosa Festival’ has as many as 40 varieties on the platter with flavours coming in from Chennai. Interestingly, quite a few dishes are an interesting fusion of South Indian and Chinese, be it an Idli Manchurian, a Chilly Mushroom Dosa or the Chinese. All the dosas and idlis will be served with five types of chutneys to relish. Besides those with a Chinese twist, a few must-try dishes include the Idli French Fry which the children would love, the Alam Dosa, the Mysore Masala Dosa, Mint Gunpowder Dosa and the Set Dosa.

The Festival will start at four every day and will continue till 10 at night.

‘’Although the dishes are being prepared by our chefs, we had experts coming in from Chennai to train them. This is one festival that food lovers will enjoy as it isn’t just Chennai here, we have added a little bit of China to it too and yes we are also giving away complimentary drinks,’’ says owner Milind Gupta.

DELHI on platter

With an enviable variety to offer, ‘The Great Kebab Festival’ vouches for that authentic taste one finds in the famous kebabs of Delhi. With 15 types of veg kebabs and 12 different non-veg kebabs that include mutton, chicken, fish and prawn, this one is an unlimited bonanza for kebab lovers as it comes in the form of a buffet.

“The variety that we are offering here is something that even a Kebab Factory does not provide. And, that’s why we have done a buffet where one can have unlimited kebabs followed by dinner which is also unlimited,’’ informs Gupta.While the veg buffet comes for ` 349 per person, the non-veg is priced at ` 549 per person. For the non-veg buffet, besides the 12 types of non-veg kebabs, three varieties of veg kebabs will also be on the platter.

‘We had chefs from Delhi coming in to train our people and all the kebabs are being served with three types of chutneys and salad,’’ adds Gupta.

While most of the kebabs are worth a try, a few that will definitely tickle your taste buds include the Kela Kebab, Anaas Ka Phul Kebab (pineapple), Dahi Kebab, Paneer Launglata, Akbari Kebab and Baby Corn Kebab in the veg platter and Mutton Tikki, Murg Malai Kebab, Achaari Chicken and Lajawaab Chicken Kebabs, Jhinga Kebab and Fish Amritsari Kebab in the non-veg platter.

‘’The whole idea of organising two festivals at a time is to give the people a different taste and I believe we will succeed in doing that,’’ concludes Gupta.
