Hyderabad, February 5, 2010: Taj Banjara is hosting the Rajasthani Food festival at its 24-hour coffee shop Waterside Café from February 5 to 13, 2010.

Rajasthani cuisine is influenced by the extravagant lifestyle of the Rajput and Brahmin inhabitants and the availability of ingredients in this arid region. Rajasthanis relish ghee which is an integral part of many of the preparations. The most famous dish would probably be Dal-Bati, which is a spicy lentil with baked balls of wheat with lots of ghee. The variety of sweet dishes is also immense and sweets are relished as much as the spicy curries in Rajasthan.

Chef Chander Singh Rathore from Taj Hotels in Rajasthan has been especially flown down to serve the Hyderabadis a taste of his authentic Rajasthani specialties. He has 15 years of experience in the hospitality industry in various Taj properties including Taj Lake Palace, Ummaid Bhawan Palace and Taj Lands End. Chef Rathore has created some of the most exotic dishes at the Liz Hurley and Arun Nair wedding in Ummaid Bhawan Palace.

The Rajasthani food festival is the latest in many traditional & innovative gourmets hosted by Taj Banjara. Earlier, they had organised food festivals like Blast From the Past, Astro Dining, Wood Fire, Gourmet Safari, Grandma’s Kitchen and Dadarbari etc.

The menu for the festival will include dishes like KHEECHIA, MURGH JAIL KEBAB, LAAL MAAS, MACHLI METHI BAGAAR, HARI MIRCH KHATA, CHAKKI KA SAAG, PANCH KUTA SAAG, CHURMA, MAKHI KA SOGRA, YAKHNI POLOUGH, KALEGI RAITHA, JAHANGIRI MURG SHORBA, BHUINI MIRCH KA SHORBA, GALAFU SEEKH KEBABS, JHINGA BALKAS RUBINA, JHINGE KA SALA and KACCHE YAKHANI DUM KI GOSHT BIRYANI.

The festival also offers a range of desserts like PISTA KULFI, RABARI KA LADOO, JALABI WITH LACHA RABARI, DAAL BADAM CHAKKI and DAAL KA HALWA.
