Q. What kind of healthy dishes have been introduced and why?
A. Our menu has got few dish which can be classified as healthy. This was not intentional but the structure and components of the dishes are such that it has become healthy on its own. Our attempt was to use freshest and seasonal ingredients, not use too much of dairy fat because dairy fats flattens the favour tones and we avoid over cooking to preserve the texture of the ingredients. These steps in turn made the dishes ‘healthy’.
Q. How is it different from the regular dishes/menus?
A. It’s not different as such that it will stand out in the menu if you are reading it. When we designed our menu; we wanted all dishes to have their own essence and taste and in the same process these dishes were also creat ed.
