Through Valleys and Villages: The Heart of Uttarakhand at Lush, Renaissance Bengaluru Race Course Hotel

Renaissance Bengaluru Race Course Hotel invites you on an epicurean journey to the heart of Uttarakhand, every dish carries the warmth of mountain kitchens and the freshness of highland fields. Curated by Executive Chef Ho Chi Ming and Chef Sachin Singh, this exclusive pop-up draws its flavours from age-old traditions, each plate telling a story passed down through generations.

Begin with a warm bite of the Arsha Roti, a festive flatbread cooked patiently on a griddle, its rich ghee and gentle sweetness of jaggery, an ode to village feasts and celebrations. From there, the table fills with the earthy depth of Goth Ki Dal horse-gram simmered slowly until velvety, a time-honoured staple for nourishment in the colder months.

Jhakia Aloo brings a joyful burst of aroma of potatoes tossed with wild Himalayan mustard seeds that crackle in hot oil, releasing their distinct, nutty fragrance. For those who seek heartier fare, Bhutwa Gosht offers tender, slow-cooked meat steeped in rustic spices, reminiscent of the meals once savoured after long mountain treks.

The Palak Kafuli, a vibrant spinach stew is thickened to perfection, celebrated as one of Uttarakhand’s most cherished dishes. Chaunsa Dal adds a smoky, nutty layer to the meal, its roasted black lentils carrying the soulful essence of Garhwali cooking.

The journey ends with Singori, an Almora treasure cone of sweetened khoya wrapped in aromatic Molu leaves. Unwrapping one is like opening a piece of mountain heritage, each bite tender, fragrant, and unforgettable.

Join us for a passage through a land where food is shaped by altitude, climate, and community. From the first bite to the last, it invites you to savour Uttarakhand in its purest, most soulful form.
