ITC Royal Bengal is introducing varied flavours of the ‘Northern Circars’ at Grand Market Pavilion from 8th to 17thJanuary 2021 under the aegis of ‘Kitchens of India’.
The Northern Circars was a former division of British India’s Madras Presidency, which consisted of a narrow slip of territory lying along the western side of the Bay of Bengal.
The food is unique because of local produce, especially the chillies. The chillies produced in this region are many and different from place to place with varied flavours and taste. Each chilli lends a different taste. Mangalagiri chilli for ‘curries’ and Pottu Mirapakai for ‘thokkus’ (pickle).
