Most of the produce, like the mutton and mathania chillies, have been procured from Rajasthan to lend a taste of authenticity to the dishes.
Talking about the festival, Chef Mohan said, “While Rajasthani food is usually fiery, we have toned it down a little to suit the palates of our international guests who are curious about India’s regional cuisines. Also, rather than just providing a few dishes from the state, we have provided a comprehensive overview of some signature dishes from each region, so that local diners as well as global travellers can appreciate the culinary marvels that India has to offer.”
