<p>CMR Institute of Technology recently hosted a food fest on its campus in Whitefield. There were about six stalls, each hosting a different cuisine. <br /><br /></p>.<p>The purpose of the event was to give management students a break from their routine and help them try their skills at something new. <br /><br /> The teams were formed based on how well each one could manage money, cook and sell the food that they had made. <br /><br />The food fest drew a good response with more than 2,000 students visiting the stalls.<br />Students hit the stalls during tea and lunch- breaks. There were a variety of stalls to choose from and the food was enticing. <br /><br />The Kerala stall served steaming hot appams, chicken curry and vegetable stew. <br />Another stall, called ‘Fusion Food’, served idiyappam, chicken curry, Ambur chicken biryani, gaajar ka halwa and chocolate brownies. <br /><br />There were also stalls serving Hyderabadi dum biryani, Bombay biryani, gulab jamun and kheer.<br /><br />Vinod Kumar, a student who tried his hand at cooking and dished out Ambur biryani, says, “Whoever thinks guys can’t cook is wrong. Cooking is my passion and I love eating as well. <br /><br />The food fest turned out to be a great platform for me to exhibit my culinary skills. <br /><br />The students also learnt how to manage customers and sell the food.” <br /> <br />Thoufiq, a student hailing from Kerala, says he misses home food but the food fest more than made up for that. “My team and I decided to sell appam and chicken curry, which is a Kerala delicacy. It was not just Keralites, but the local people too who enjoyed the food,” he adds.<br /><br />Varun N, another student, manned a stall that sold idiyappam, biryani and brownies. <br /><br />“We wanted to give students as many options as possible so that they have a range of items to choose from. My idea was to serve good food and practise team-building, team management and just have loads of fun,” says Varun. <br /></p>
