Andhra Food Festival launched in Marriott, Ahmedabad


The hot, tangy tastes of Andhra cuisine and the aroma magic of spices wafted into the city at an exclusive “Andhra Food Fest” organized by Courtyard by Marriott, Ahmedabad. Starting from 20th June, The Andhra Food Festival will be executed to perfection in-house, by Chef Satish Chirapa hailing from the Seemandra region of Andhra Pradesh.

The subtle regional variations of Telegu cooking culture were reflected in the mixes and diversity of gravies. For the sweet-tooth Gujarati, this is a chance to open up the palate and savour Mireyalu Bendakaya, a dish that mingles pepper and okra, Guntur Mamsam, Pullihara Rice, Nilagire Mutton, Munakada Mamsam, Kothimera Chicken, Nellore Chapala Pulusu and Karevapaku Chicken. The authentic vegetarian dishes like Artikaya thallimpu (raw banana dish), Vekaya bhandakaya vepudu( potato & okra), munakada pullusu (drumstick), beetroot rasam and karivepaku rice are specially put in the menu for the vegetarian food lovers of Ahmedabad.

“Andhra cuisine is diverse and traverses and touches Telangana, Rayalaseema, coastal locations and it is worth a study how tastes differ from one zone to the other. Food lovers with a thing for hot and spicy with a twist will find their fare right here. It is about chillies, tamarind, asafetida, red sorrel leaves among others. We tried to keep the ingredients as authentic as possible with a peep into the rice-based sweet dishes too. Munakkada Mamsam and Guttu Venkaya Pulusu are my personal favourites,” said Chef Satish Chirrapa, an experienced Chef in Southern cuisines, who has recently joined Courtyard by Marriott, Ahmedabad.

Be it the vegetarians or the meat lovers, there is something for everyone. Courtyard by Marriott added an extra touch to keep the décor in tune and create a mini-Andhra right here in Ahmedabad. Specialty Andhra condiments, region-influenced attire and table mats along with a seamless buffet décor are enough to transport food connoisseurs to Andhra Pradesh.

“Courtyard by Marriott has been a game changer in the hospitality business. We have experimented with menus, got the best chefs around the world to create exquisite touches to the city’s food horizon. Food houses knowledge of distinct cultures and we have traced trails of multiple regions and countries. We hosted Marathi Food Festival last year and explored the street food culture across the world this year. Continuing with the quest to bring in the regional flavours, we brought in The Andhra Food Festival this year. We hope to continue raising the bar,” said Mr. Gaurav Apte, General Manager, Courtyard by Marriott, Ahmedabad.
