Celebrating Pongal with a Harvest-Inspired Feast at The Verandah

As the harvest season arrives, The Verandah at Grand Mercure Bangalore opens its doors to a Pongal lunch that celebrates tradition, togetherness, and the comforting flavours of South India.

This Pongal, The Verandah is introducing festive meals shared at home to the travellers, the non locals and people staying away from home. The specially curated menu brings together dishes that have long been part of traditional Pongal celebrations.

Guests can savour dishes such as the comforting Khara Pongal, the Mango Chitranna atypical dish of Karnataka, Avial, Surrakkai Kootu, Avarekai Palya, Palak Pappu, Cabbage Poriyal, Kosimbiri, and Dahi Vada, each prepared to reflect the warmth and simplicity of the harvest table in Karnataka.

The celebration continues with a dessert spread that recalls festive indulgence and childhood memories. Sweet Pongal, Badami Semiya Payasam, and Elaneer Payasam are served alongside much loved favourites such as Mysore Pak and Jaggery Coconut Burfi, bringing the meal to a satisfying close.

This Pongal, join us at The Verandah in Koramangala for a soulful lunch that honours the season, the harvest, and the joy of coming together over food that feels like home.
