AHMEDABAD, MAY 22
Tamils have been following the principle of ‘food is medicine’ from time immemorial to keep their body healthy. The food we consume daily should contain all the nutrients our body needs. They follow the habit of dividing food into six categories – sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent, and astringent – based on taste. A good diet is one that is balanced and complete with all the flavors. Foods cooked with these 6 tastes are called delicious food. Seasonal fruits are the bounty of Mother Nature to human kind.
With the advent of summer, mango, the King of Fruits, which is the National fruit of India, is consumed by young and old all over the country. Its sweet fragrance and delectable flavors have won the hearts of many around the world. Mango is a rich source of Vitamins A, C and D. Mango is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and it has been associated with many health benefits, including potential anticancer effects, as well as improved immunity and digestive and eye health.
Aiming to delight the food lovers of Apnu Amdavad with this nutri-rich fruit, Sambar Café, the destination for authentic South Indian cuisine in Ahmedabad, on Thursday announced the launch of Mango Madness, a culinary celebration that will showcase mango in over 20 traditional dishes.
The specially curated menu, featuring both raw and ripe mango delights, including Mambazha Payasam, Mambazha Sambar, Mangai Sadam (Mango Rice), Mambazha Pulissery, Mangai Chammanthi (Chutney), Mambazha Thair Sadam (Curd Rice), Mambazha Rasam, and Mambazha Jigarthanda, alongside classic accompaniments such as Vazhakkai Varuval, Beetroot Thoran, Keerai Kootu, and Mambazha Pachadi, will be served on banana leaves.
Speaking with this correspondent Jayanti Santosh, Founder of Sambar Café, said, “Mango holds a cherished place in South Indian kitchens during the summer season. With Mango Madness, we want to bring that emotion alive on every banana leaf through a thoughtfully curated spread of mango-infused South Indian delicacies that celebrate both tradition and flavour. We invite food lovers to savour the season’s most beloved fruit through a uniquely South Indian lens at Mango Madness. Our USP is that we source mango and other ingredients from the respective growers in South India.”
The festival will also pay homage to the mango’s deep cultural roots, name derived from the Tamil word “Mangai”, and its timeless role in traditional South Indian cuisine.
The mango festival will take place at Sambar Café’s Ghuma-Manipur branch over select slots. Patrons can indulge in the unique delicacies at dinner on May 24, 30 and 31 from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm, and lunch on May 25 and June 1 between 12:30 pm and 1:30 pm.
