New Delhi, November 29, 2024: Shangri-La Eros New Delhi welcomes gourmets to discover the regal flavours of Lucknow’s legendary Awadhi cuisine, thoughtfully reimagined by Guest Chef Mansi. Delight in centuries-old recipes and time-honored traditions at Tamra, the hotel’s international cuisine restaurant, from November 28th to 30th, 2024.
Chef Mansi, a culinary expert from Lucknow’s UP Khatri community, brings her deep knowledge of traditional Awadhi cuisine to this exclusive pop-up. Inspired by the women of her family, she honors her community’s vegetarian roots while embracing the diverse flavors of North Indian gastronomy. Her cooking philosophy centers on slow cooking and seasonal ingredients, whether preparing a Zaffrani Biryani or a Soulful Dal preparation. Through her Awadhi table experiences, Chef Mansi has gained recognition for her dedication to authentic recipes and traditional techniques.
The signature collection includes Shammi Kabab, these soft, robustly flavored mince patties are filled with spicy surprises, offering a bold beginning to your feast. For a touch of traditional comfort, enjoy Khasta and Aaloo – crisp fried spicy kachoris paired with tangy potatoes in tomato gravy.
The main course unfolds with the luxurious Zaffrani Biryani, an Awadhi-style delicacy delicately infused with the rich aroma of saffron. Tender, succulent meat is nestled in fragrant, spiced rice and slow-cooked to perfection using the traditional dum method. For a hearty winter treat, savor Nihari, a slow-braised stew cooked overnight with aromatic herbs and spices. The vegetarian options are equally enticing, with Lauki Musallam – a whole gourd stuffed with khoya and nuts in a lightly spiced gravy – and Nimona, a homely dish of fresh peas, spring onions, and mungori cooked to a delectable spicy flavour.
End your meal on a sweet note with Phirni, a rich, saffron-flavored rice pudding garnished with dry fruits and silver warq, served in traditional earthenware bowls.
Experience the magic of generations-old Awadhi recipes as Chef Mansi brings her family’s culinary legacy to Tamra. This limited-time pop-up promises an intimate evening of traditional flavors and heartwarming hospitality, straight from the kitchens of Lucknow.
The special Awadhi cuisine is available for Lunch and Dinner Buffet. The Lunch buffet is priced at INR 3,200 plus taxes and the Dinner buffet is priced at INR 3,500 plus taxes per person.
