Relish one of the oldest surviving cuisines of India in the second edition of MTR Foods’ ‘Karunadu Swada’- Karnataka Food Festival on January 26 and 27, 7.30 pm onwards at St Johns Auditorium, Koramangala.
The food fete will have over 100 dishes prepared by expert home chefs from six regions across Karnataka - Bidar, Kodagu, Belgaum, Mangaluru, Mysuru and Udupi.
With an attempt to take people of Bengaluru on a journey to rediscover the authentic dishes of Karnataka, MTR Foods along with food historian Chandri Bhat did an in-depth study of the cuisines of the state by visiting different home-cooks.
