Few dishes that stood out for me are as under
Pindi Chole – I always look forward to enriching conversations over food and the Chef’s here are a bouquet of information on my favourite topic food. Chef & Food Connoiseiur Vickram literally added magic to this one … This darker shade of Pindi Chole is the most authentic one that I ever had and it felt so light even after having it and that’s the promise of his magic recipe
Everything of my platter was what I truly loved. The dal by Chef Maneesh, Masala Karela by Pauli and The epic Rajasthani Gatta curry by Chef Ruchi.
Further ended the delicious superlative dinner with yet another favourite part of mine , Indian Desserts. I feel Indian Desserts are seriously underrated. These two had my heart and mind
