G20 summit: Indian street food, millets on world leaders' platter
G20 summit here will get a taste of lip-smacking Indian street food, including flavourful delicacies from Chandni Chowk, and innovative millet dishes. An elaborate spread of millet recipes has been planned for the world leaders and delegates attending the G20 summit on September 9-10 at the Bharat Mandapam, showcasing the climate-resistant and highly nutritious coarse grains grown across the country.
During the summit meeting, the world leaders will also plant saplings of national plants or plant species native to their respective countries as part of efforts to create a G20 Garden in the Bharat Mandapam complex.
In an interview to PTI, G20 India Special Secretary Muktesh Pardeshi said arrangements are also afoot to make the India visit memorable for the spouses of the world leaders through live demonstrative sessions on the rich handicrafts legacy of the country coupled with a shopping experience at the National Gallery of Modern Art.
«Yes, in some innovative manner, there would be an introduction to street food, and local and regional cuisines of India.
The chefs are working overtime to finalise the menu, keeping all aspects in mind. But certainly, there will be some exposure,» Pardeshi said in response to a question.
«Delhi is very well known for its street food, particularly the Chandni Chowk area.
