In its fourth edition, Flavours of India in association with t2 at City Centre Salt Lake yet again celebrated the culinary diversity of India. Held between June 15 and 17, the festival offered a wide array of delicacies from across the country, from Konkan dishes at Tamarind to Rajasthani thalis at Marwar Junction. There were enough options to keep both vegetarians and non-vegetarians happy, and sweet cravings satiated. Snapshots...
Agartala residents and Tripura Institute of Technology students (l-r) Nabanita, Snigdha, Sudipta and Swagata were in town for a training programme and a chance visit to City Centre led them to the food festival. “It’s lovely and everyone is so helpful and friendly,” said Snigdha about her Calcutta experience.
Kuhu Mukherjee, a second-year college student, was in City Centre with friend Kaustuv Roy for a pending birthday treat and the duo wrapped up their outing on a sweet note with Baked Rosogolla from Balaram Mullick & Radharaman Mullick. “I can’t believe she’s never tried this before,” said Kaustuv.
Friends (l-r) Debleena, Jyoti and Sweety chanced upon the food festival while hanging out in the mall. “We really liked the Thai Fish Fry from Red Bamboo Shoot and the Crispy Chilli Babycorn was good too,” said Sweety who also decided to get a packet of biryani from Khwab packed for home.
Second-year management student and Salt Lake resident Sanchita Sorcar and her friend Anush Bhattacharya decided to get Khwab’s Chicken Malai Kebab and Red Bamboo Shoot’s Chilli Basil Chicken packed for home.
College students and self-confessed food festival aficionados Yudhajit (left) and Hindol opted for the Fish Fry from Khwab to start with. “After eight months of idli, dosa, vada, I’m just so happy to finally have fish,” said Yudhajit, who is currently studying in Chennai.
Poushi Choudhury, a Class II student of Our Lady Queen of the Missions School Salt Lake, was enjoying the festival with her mom and school buddy Ujjayni. A plate of Crispy Chilli Babycorn from Red Bamboo Shoot is what she feasted on. “It is very nice here and we enjoyed a lot,” said Poushi, all smiles.
