Shangri-La Hotel, Bengaluru’s Indian restaurant,

Shangri-La Hotel, Bengaluru’s Indian restaurant, Ssaffron, has a nine-day ‘Sarhad’ culinary pop-up showcasing flavourful and authentic delicacies from the borders of India. Sampled some great vegetarian fare with this specially curated thaali by Chef.

Curated by Chef Gagandeep Singh Sawhney, the special menu will feature ancestral recipes that have been passed down to him by his grandmother from a bygone era. Prepared with the same love and attention that Chef Sawhney’s grandmother cooked with years ago, the rich, robust and rustic dishes are perfect to be enjoyed with loved ones during nippy evenings. Mildly spicy, lightly marinated, slow-cooked or grilled on tandoor, these delicacies features succulent meat, root vegetables and flavourful greens.

The Sarhad seasonal menu will introduce diners to Indian delicacies including Waris Ki Nihari, Charga, Sarson Ka Saag, Tawa Boti, Magaz Masala, Nadru Kebab, Mutton Champ, Miyaji ki Daal, Khamiri Roti, Kabuli Pulav, and more.
To learn more, please call (91 80) 4512 64100 or email bengaluru@shangri-la.com
Venue: Ssaffron at Shangri-La Hotel, Bengaluru

Date: 21 to 29 November 2020

Time: Lunch – Noon to 3:30 p.m. Dinner – 7 to 11:30 p.m.

A pair of Motted Wood Owls. One of my favourite birds I was thrilled to see this thanks to a fellow birder in Lalbagh.

Medium-sized patchy-looking owl with dark eyes. Densely-marked orange-and-gray coloration is unique. Typically gives single hoots, but also gives an odd, mellow tremolo vocalization in the breeding season. A lowland species, favoring groves and clusters of trees in open plains and on the edges of cultivated areas. (courtesy ebird.org)

The common kingfisher, also called the Eurasian ki

The common kingfisher, also called the Eurasian kingfisher and river kingfisher, is a small kingfisher about the size of a large sparrow. Its vivid plumage of course has nothing to do with the "common" name attached to it. Spotted at Lalbagh in Bengaluru

On day two of Dasara I sampled this exquisite Navratri thaali at Shangri-La hotel Bengaluru. This one was unique as it had vrat ka khana so the poori was made using buckwheat, lots of sabudana and simple flavours. A meal I absolutely recommend. Available for dine in and delivery until October 24, 2020. Read all about it in my blog

While it is a happy coincidence that I decided to head to the lovely Shivanasamudra falls Gaganachukki and Barachukki today, I realised it's World Tourism Day just now. With rural tourism the theme for the year here are some vignettes of Karnataka's vibrant rural side.
