Pilibhit House, Haridwar presents a Millets based healthy culinary affair

National, 2nd May, 2023: Known for its soul stirring experiences and Sattvic living philosophy, Pilibhit House, Haridwar - IHCL SeleQtions has curated a distinct millets menu, encompassing contemporary delicacies with an Indian heart. The dishes are made using lesser-known regional ingredients and inspired by recipes of the noble house’s ancestral kitchens. An extension of the existing vegetarian menu, the Millets special has been curated to promote a healthier and sustainable lifestyle and celebrate the International Year of Millets.

Millets known for its many proven benefits for health and agriculture, lost their prominence over the years. This superfood is a rich option for a light meal as well as apt for consumption across all seasons. The culinary team of Pilibhit House, experimented with recipes and techniques to curate an exquisite dining experience - an amalgamation of taste and textures, presented in a refreshing new avatar. These dishes will be a permanent highlight on the menu, encouraging guests to make healthier choices. The luxury hotel has also taken the initiative of training and educating their talented team on the benefits and usage of this multi-purpose superfood for more culinary innovations to come alive in the future.

“The new menu truly aligns with the Pilibhit House’s core ethos. We have always focused on crafting dining experiences that are perfectly balanced for one’s body and mind. With growing awareness about the nutritional values of Millets, there’s been an increase in guests’ interest to explore and savour healthy food even while travelling. Incorporating millets into classic recipes, we have also experimented with local Garhwali delicacies and ingredients to present a robust and soul-satisfying menu.”

Executive Chef Mani Mohan Pathak

The scrumptious menu that boasts of millets as a hero ingredient, also imbibes lost spices and the finest regional ingredients to create a perfect medley of flavours. Guests can savour appetizers and small plates such as Home-made mix millets nachos with Bhangjeera or noon dip, Barnyard millets upma, and mouthwatering Paneer ghee roast on a ragi disc. To delight the palate further are dishes using local seasonal vegetables such as Barnyard Millet & Basil Konjee with masala jawar crisp, Pahadi kafli with bhanjeer ki chutney and Raagi roti, Ligude or Kachnaar subzi (Guriyal ki subzi), well-balanced Churkani Dal that consists of diverse types of beans, a flavorful Himalayan Red Rice Idly and more.

Patrons can also look forward to refreshing ‘Buransh ki Chuski’, a local Himalayan spiced iced gola made with burransh (rhododendron) flowers or Raagi, Flax seed & Jaggery ki Ladoo to end their meal on a sweet note. Mocktails such as local Timur salt infused Sharbat & Shikhanji make for soothing companion.

Haridwar’s most luxurious address continues to echo the sentiments of promoting health and wellness through its diverse experiences. Overlooking the majestic view of Ganges and surrounded by serenity of the Shivalik hills, Pilibhit House is a perfect summer destination to unwind and take a reflective pause.
