Experience a slice of Andhra Pradesh at Novotel Kolkata

With Nellore Chapala Pulusu, Gongura Mamsam, Natu Kodi Koora and more on offer — you’ll be spoilt for choice

Love Andhra cuisine? This weekend, chef Madeena Valli from Novotel Visakhapatnam Varun Beach is at Novotel Kolkata to lend a hand to executive sous chef Sirajul Rahaman and the duo are putting together a flavourful plate. The ‘Spice Symphony’ food festival is all about Andhra Pradesh’s diverse flavours and cultural influences. There will be two specially curated menus— special dinners and a Sunday brunch showcasing the best of Andhra cuisine. Savour dishes like Nellore Chapala Pulusu, a tangy fish curry; Gongura Mamsam, featuring tender mutton with sorrel leaves; Natu Kodi Koora, a rustic chicken curry made with free-range chicken; Gutti Vankaya, brinjal stuffed with a spicy peanut-sesame paste; Raju Gari Royala Vepudu, a spicy prawn fry; and Ragi Sangatti, a dish made from finger millet flour, typically served with ghee. Book your table now and take a culinary tour of Andhra Pradesh right here in Kolkata.
