Bangkok (Thailand) – September 9, 2017 (travelindex) – The Embassy of the Republic of India, in partnership with the Rembrandt Hotel Bangkok, is hosting the Uttar Pradesh Food Festival from September 11 to 16. The largest Indian food festival of the year celebrates the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations between India and Thailand. Regional Mughlai cuisine will be prepared by five-star chefs at the award-winning Rang Mahal, Thailand's best Indian restaurant.

The Uttar Pradesh Food Festival showcases authentic cuisine from the Mughal era. Uttar Pradesh is renowned for its cuisine, introduced to India by the Mughal rulers during the Middle Ages. Mughal cuisine ranges from mild to spicy and is often characterized by the distinctive aromas and flavors of eight ground spices. This festival transports you to a medieval time when kings delighted their palace guests with delectable delicacies, kebabs, and exotic curries.

This largest Indian food festival brings together chefs Santosh Kumar and Sanjib Bandyopadhyay from Central India with Rajan Misra, head chef of Rang Mahal, to create a Mughlai buffet featuring main courses and side dishes. THB 500++ for the lunch menu and THB 990++ for the evening buffet.

The General Manager of the Rembrandt Hotel Bangkok, Eric Hallin, said: “It is an honor for us to co-host the largest Indian food festival of the year with the Embassy of the Republic of India to celebrate 70 years of good relations between India and Thailand.
