Savour Southern India’s Culinary Heritage at Karma Lakelands Two States Festival

Gurgaon, June 2025: Karma Lakelands,  India’s leading eco-resort known for its immersive experiences, is proud to announce the launch of “Two States – A South Indian Culinary Journey”, a unique food festival showcasing the authentic flavours of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. The festival promises a celebration of South India’s rich culinary heritage, brought to life with Karma Lakelands signature warmth.

Happening at On Kourse, the all day dining restaurant at Karma Lakelands, the festival offers a specially crafted menu that goes far beyond typical South Indian fare. From the tangy Pepper Rasam to the comforting richness of Aatu Kari Kulambu, the festival menu is a vibrant tribute to South India’s culinary diversity. Guests can indulge in traditional favourites like Kerala Parotta with Chicken Chettinad, the earthy Puttu with Kadala Curry, and the fragrant Kozhi Biryani, layered with spice and tradition. Lesser-known gems such as Kune Ulli Masala (mushrooms tossed in a South Indian tadka) and the soul-warming Meen Molly (pomfret simmered in coconut milk) add depth to the experience. No meal is complete without the decadent Palada Pradhaman, or the nostalgic joy of Unni Appam, each dish crafted with authentic ingredients and regional pride, promising a journey of bold flavours and timeless stories.

More than just a culinary celebration, this festival is Karma Lakelands’ tribute to the cultural richness,diversity, and depth of regional cuisine. It aims to spark curiosity and create immersive experiences that go beyond the plate.

Speaking on this, Mr. Ravinder Kumar, Executive Chef, Karma Lakelands, said, “The South Indian Fest is an opportunity to bring the depth and authenticity of regional Indian cuisine to the forefront. By incorporating time-honoured recipes and sourcing ingredients directly from Kerala, we’ve created a menu that highlights not just traditional flavours but also India’s incredible culinary diversity. At Karma Lakelands, we take pride in being an inclusive space welcoming cultures, tastes, and people from all walks of life. This festival reflects that spirit, offering guests an immersive and memorable dining experience that celebrates both heritage and hospitality.”
