From the land of hills and tea, Novotel Pune hosts, an Assamese Food Festival this July with home chef Monjeeta Baroowa

Pune, July 16, 2019: A state which literally embodies an amalgamation of the cultures, Assam has a rich and beautiful heritage. Like its culture, its cuisine as well is adapted from ingredients and methods from the hills and the plains. This month, Novotel, Pune, invites you to discover this delicious cuisine and relish flavors cooked by the home chef Monjeeta Baroowa from Friday, 19th to Sunday, 28th July!

From the hills, Assam imbibes a culture of drying and fermenting food as primary methods of preparation. While the plains have influenced it by introducing an abundance of ingredients like fish, meat & vegetables. Rice is the centre of most of their cuisine and other dishes are meant to accompany it. It is the one item that has varieties across breakfast lunch and dinner. Food is mostly not spicy and only a few indigenous spices and herbs are used to subtly flavor the food. Traditionally, food is cooked in earthenware over an open flame, giving the food a distinct flavor.

Home Chef Monjeeta Baroowa has whipped up a menu which will highlight signature dishes from the land of hills and tea. Come experience the exotic dishes like Machor Tenga, Amitar Khaar, Paita Bhaat, Doi Chira, Narikal Laroo and many more. Come savor myriad flavors from Assam for dinner buffet from Friday, 19th to Sunday, 28th July!
