Tantalising slow cooking on the dum (low flame) with a generous dose of fragrant spices. Delicious preparations drenched in ghee (clarified butter). Celebrated dishes of the erstwhile nawabs – thetrue legacy of nizami aristocracy. The delectable flavours of Awadh, Hyderabadi and Rajasthani cuisine have been a hallmark of Indian heritage and culture, representing culinary gems of the past.
The chefs of Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru will be displaying time-honoured specialties from this famed style of cooking in their special Diwali Menu.
“A confluence of influences from the royal kitchens, finest of ingredients and the most fragrant premium spices will infuse a magical touch to our special Diwali showcase this year,” remarks Executive Sous Chef Dirham Haque, himself an expert of the dum pukht style of cooking.
Spread across two weeks from November 2 to 15, 2021, there will be an a la carte menu at CUR8 for both lunch and dinner.
Expect to start the meal with appetisers such as palak aur anjeer ke kebab, delicious spinach and fig patties, fragrant with mace and saffron, succulent jumbo prawns in cheese and hung yoghurt marinade or kebabs, from melt-in-the-mouth lamb or lightly spiced chicken.
Mains will feature some delectable and lesser-known culinary gems such as dry apricot dumplings, ripe guava and fresh watermelon curry, murgh handi lazeez featuring prime cuts of chicken, lamb chops cooked on the griddle, and a fresh seabass cooked in spices, among other specialities.
Fragrant biryanis cooked on the dum will come in vegetarian, chicken and mutton variations while a range of Indian breads such as taftan, warqui parantha and bejad ki roti will serve as the perfect accompaniment with the rich gravies.
Since no decadent meal is ever complete without a sweet ending, chefs will feature sweet treats such as malai ghewar, rabri, malpua and others.
From November 2 to 15, 2021, there will be expansive lunch and dinner buffets on Fridays and Saturdays, along with a lavish Sunday Brunch with these special Diwali accents on November 7 and 14, 2021.
