A Five-Day Makar Sankranti Food Festival at Grand Mercure Bengaluru at Gopalan Mall

The festival menu brings together comforting, time-honoured dishes synonymous with the season. At the heart of the spread is traditional Pongal, prepared in keeping with festive customs and rituals. This is complemented by Avarekai Sabzi, a much-loved seasonal preparation that highlights the freshness of winter produce. Adding a rustic North Indian touch are Sarson da Saag and Makki di Roti, anchoring the menu in slow-cooked, hearty flavours associated with winter harvest celebrations.

The festive experience concludes on a sweet note with an assortment of traditional harvest desserts. Til ke Laddu and Revdi, rich with sesame and jaggery, bring warmth and texture to the palate, while Pinni Laddu offers a rich, indulgent finish that echoes the celebratory spirit of the festival.
