Treasures of the grand highway by JW Marriott

Mughlai cuisine is one of the most popular cuisines, whose origin can be traced back to the times of Mughal Empire. It consists of the dishes that were prepared in the kitchens of the royal Mughal Emperors. Indian cuisine is predominantly influenced by the cooking style practiced during the Mughal era. Mughlai food is quite spicy and has a very unique aroma. On eating It, 

one can get a feel of the ground spices. 

So to bring us back to the Mughal Era, K3, JW MARRIOTT , NEW DELHI,AEROCITY is celebrating a culinary journey , one of the world’s oldest trade route spanning thousands of miles along with chef VIVEK BHATT. 

They have a vast variety on the menu.The chef’has done a great job in bringing out the best from Kabul to Kolkata.

I love how they keep trying out different things and always try to bring something new to the table. 

I started my journey with the tangy banta and aam panna and both the drinks were refreshing.

Tried Bhatti ka Paneer - paneer tikka , well marinated and lip smacking in taste.

BANARASI PAN KE TALWAN KABAB- ever thought a pan in a kabab? Never tried this unique dish , very different and delectable in taste.

Amritsari aloo ki tikki- super soft tikkis, tasted nothing like aloo infact something far better.

In non veg starters there were many dishes out of which we liked the Peshawari chicken chapli kabab and kabuli barrah Kabab both were chef's special dishes and were luscious 

In main course we had-

Dal Makhni- dal which was cooked overnight enriched with butter and tomato, tasted superb.

Paneer was a bit sweet in taste otherwise the flavours used were decent.

Afghani chicken biryani and veg biryani -rich rice preparation made with kabuli chana, mawa and mewa .

Bhuna lacha palak - garlic and dried red chilli tempered spinach chiffonade and aloo dum banarasi were equally tempting.

And oh yes! The lahori chicken is not to be missed at any cost!

Coming to the best part ie desserts, i was totally impressed with the dessert plate which consisted of doodh ke ladoo , lancha , jalebi and badam biscuit , there was not a single sweet dish which i didn't like. Brownie points for it.

Overall team missfoodiediaries had a wonderful experience , kudos to Chef Bhatt and team at K3 for creating this magical experience. The fest is only till 13th august'16 so not to be missed at all!
