The G20 (Group 20) Leaders' Summit in Delhi is not just about diplomatic discussions and policy decisions; it's also an opportunity to savour the rich tapestry of Indian cuisine and witness a commitment to sustainability like never before. Celebrity chefs and five-star hotels have joined forces to make this international event a culinary extravaganza that reflects India's culinary heritage and embraces sustainable practices.
The LaLiT New Delhi: An Inclusive Culinary Journey
At The LaLiT New Delhi, the preparations for the G20 Summit have been nothing short of extraordinary. The hotel's philosophy of inclusivity and culinary innovation has set the stage for a warm welcome to the esteemed Prime Ministers of Canada and Japan and their distinguished delegations.
The culinary team at The LaLiT has gone above and beyond to create a menu that combines Indian, Canadian, Oriental, and Japanese cuisines, with a delightful millet twist. In celebration of International Millets Year, the menu includes dishes like a millet-infused fruit salad and a delectable jaggery and ragi kheer.
The hotel has also implemented stringent security measures, including replacing the windows of the suites designated for the Prime Ministers with bulletproof glass, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to guest safety.
Roseate Hotels & Resorts: Championing Sustainability
Roseate Hotels & Resorts is taking this opportunity to showcase its commitment to sustainable practices, in line with the essence of its brand. The hotel is highlighting the diversity of Indian cuisine by incorporating locally sourced produce into its menus.
One standout feature is their in-house hydroponics farm, which cultivates 100% natural, organic, and pesticide-free produce. This initiative not only sets new standards in freshness but also endorses the advantages of plant-based diets while nurturing the local farming community.
In alignment with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's declaration of 2023 as the Year of Millets, Roseate Hotels & Resorts has introduced an exclusive millet section on its restaurant menu. Indigenous produce and the health benefits of millets take center stage in dishes such as Finger Millet Fennel Rusk, Sorghum and Fenugreek Mathi, Millet and Super Seed Ladoo, Finger Millet and Date Peda, and Pearl Millet Gulgule.
