The 4 th of March, 2016 marks the start of the South Indian Food Festival that will be going on for 10 days.

South Indian cuisine has over the time become synonyms with ‘Dosa, Idli, Sambhar and Chutney’ specially for the layman.

Surprisingly, the menu we tasted opened our eyes to think and taste beyond the ‘Upma, Vada and Uttapam’.

The starter included ‘Koli Porechettu’, that is fried chicken Kerala Style. It had a hint of Curry patta with slight tangy flavour, mildly spiced.

 

Next was ‘Medu pakora’ a crispy yet soft, a melt in your mouth savoury snack.

The ‘Elumbu soup’ was out of the world, a mutton bone soup, Tamil style.

The Main Course for Vegetarians was Kalan Thakkal (Mushroom Curry in chettinad style, Palak Kora Pappu (Palak and yellow dal, Andhra style), Urali Roast (Baby potatoes, Tamil Nadu style) and Pukos Melagu Paratal (Cauliflower, Tamil Nadu style).

For Non vegetarians, Andhra Mutton fry, Meen Verual (Fish Tamil Nadu style), Malabar Koli Curry (Chicken, Kerala style).

We were served hot ‘Malabar Parathans, which were to die for. My favourite was the Malabar Koli Curry with either parantha or simple steamed rice tasted out of the world.

The coming 10 days promise to take you upon an exotic culinary tour with authentic flavours of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala,Karnataka, Chettinad and Coorg cuisine.

With all the wonderful flavours from across South India coming to you on your table dining at Park Plaza Noida surely makes for the most memorable experience.
