Flavours of Khasi by the duo sisters Daki and Daphi at THE Park Bangalore

THE Park Bangalore is all set to present “Flavours of Khasi - A Journey of Meghalayan Cuisine” food pop-up from 21st Feb to 25th Feb 2024 at Monsoon, THE Park Bangalore under its flagship program, “Culinary Curations by THE Park”. The 05-day pop-up is a celebration of the rich culinary heritage of Meghalaya, which is handled by the renowned Khasi sisters Daphimanroi and Dakiwanri.

THE Park Bangalore has partnered with food evangelist Yogita Uchil to curate the Flavours of Khasi. This event highlights the bold and aromatic flavours of Khasi cuisine, which has a rich culinary heritage. THE Park is committed to offering immersive dining experiences to its patrons, and this event is a part of that commitment.

“Khasi cuisine focuses on bringing out the truest flavour of every ingredient in a dish. It is simple, uncomplicated, and without the use of any flavour-influencing spices. It is wholesome and balanced”,

Daphimanroi and Dakiwanri.

Meghalayan cuisine is an amalgam of three tribal cuisines of the region- Garo, Khasi, and Jaintia. While the ingredients remain almost the same, the methods of preparation differ with the tribes, and the duo chefs are experts in Khasi cuisine which is often devoid of a lot of spices and oil. Khasi cuisine is rich, diverse, and deeply rooted in culture. It is primarily based on the local produce of the region and meat and is mostly cooked using seasonal and sometimes wild ingredients.

Baseer Ahmed, Executive Sous Chef at THE Park Bangalore, stated, "Culinary Curations by THE Park is an initiative that focuses on the indigenous micro cuisines. These cuisines are known for their authentic taste and use of locally sourced produce to maintain their traditional food heritage. Through a partnership with Chef Daki and Daphi, we aim to bring more attention to this special Khasi cuisine and offer a unique culinary experience to the people of Bangalore.”
