Rajneesh Kumar, General Manager, Courtyard by Marriott, Raipur while addressing a press conference to announce the Street Food Festival said “There is something about the familiar streets of one’s hometown and there is something about the street food found in those very lanes. Indian street food is a deliciously aromatic blend of spices. It is a balance of sweet, sour, spicy and tangy flavours. Can be seen often in one dish, but in a variety of textures. Not only does Indian street food represent bold, unrestricted flavours. It is also a reflection of our diverse culture and tastes in different parts of the country.”
Must try cuisines
The food festival will witness authentic recipes drawn from the bylanes of cities like Delhi, Amritsar, Kolkata, Patna, and Mumbai. Some of them include Soya Keema Kulche, Keema and Sprouts Parathas, Makke Dee Roti Sarso Da Saag, Kathi and Paneer Chicken Rolls, Mithila Ka Litti Chokha, Punjabi Lassi and Chhach, Appam Stew, Kanjivaram Idli, Poori Masala Dosa and Surat Ke Besan Wale Cheele.
Anuj Singh, Executive Chef, Courtyard by Marriott, Raipur said “Rich in flavours and abounding in the use of local produce and spices, street food in India is a treasure of recipes, many of which have been preserved and cherished for over a century now. Others have evolved over the years.”
He further said that in this festival, the most popular street cuisines of different states are being prepared by the expert chefs of the hotel. The street dishes, which are considered the identity of every state, have been included in this fest.
