Chef Parama Sivam is back with his South Indian Food Festival at Four Points by Sheraton, Pune after his popular offerings last year. This year too, patrons will get a culinary tour of South India as the chef presents a new set of dishes on the buffet each day. From different breads and rice to a mix of chicken and fish preparations from the coast, diners will have a lot of choice to explore different traditional regional cuisine.
The South Indian Food Festival at Four Points by Sheraton begins on 21st October and will run through the end of the month.
The festival has various soups and starters,which includes different Rassam recipes. The Malli Rassam we tasted was super sour and hot. With the fluctuating tempratures, this hot and peppery one is sure to get your sinuses flowing.
South Indian flavors have specific spice mixes that gives them a unique taste. Kori (Chicken) Amravathi brings you the taste of Andhra’s red chillies and curry leaves that will get your taste buds flowing.
But that is not the only thing chicken lovers will enjoy. Kori Sukka is a South Indian twist to the more common mutton sukka and uses a thick gravy of onions and spices to coat chicken drummets that you will love as a main course or as an appetiser.
But South India is as much about coastal tastes as it is about inland recipes. So seafood lovers will get their share of options too. There are the staple Rawa fry and a more southern Indian Meen Vevichathu, which leans heavily on tamarind. The thick tamarind gravy gives this dish a sweet sour and spicy taste all at once and is a good accompaniment to Veech Parotta.
Vegetarians to get their share of offerings in Keerai Wada mage with greens and main course options with Paneer, which is not usually common in dishes from South India. And not to forget the popular Avial.
Payasam and Kesri hold the fort when it comes desserts and on a rotating menu, guests will also get some uncommon dessert options if its their lucky day.
So if you love the curry leaves and the pungent peppery taste of South India, Four Points by Sheraton is the perfect option for you this week for a family Sunday lunch.
