Rice above the rest festival a Café Delhi Heights is a delight

Café Delhi Heights, renowned for their innovative food festivals, has outdone themselves with their latest culinary masterpiece, ‘Rice Above the Rest.’ Rice, deeply ingrained in Indian culture, not only serves as a nourishing staple but also holds profound spiritual and ritual significance.

In Indian traditions, rice symbolises prosperity and is an integral part of significant cultural events. From the first solid food given to a child to the application of rice grains on foreheads during religious ceremonies, rice plays a vital role in conveying the soul’s energy and well-being. The rich tapestry of Indian festivals embraces rice, with various celebrations honouring the harvest cycle.

Recognising the unparalleled versatility and universal appeal of rice, Vikrant Batra, Founder of Café Delhi Heights, took it upon himself to curate a special menu celebrating this superfood. Aashish Singh, Corporate Chef at Café Delhi Heights, meticulously crafted the menu, takinginto account the diverse rice preferences across different Indian states. From the delicious curd rice of Karnataka and fragrant Hyderabadi biryani to the tantalising masale bhaat of Maharashtra and comforting payesh from Assam, the menu encompasses a delightful array of rice-based dishes.

Fascinatingly, rice’s reputation as a highglycaemic index food does not diminish its status as a preferred grain, especially considering the numerous fibrous variants like red rice. Café Delhi Heights carefully incorporated a range of rice varieties to cater to different palates, ensuring that this culinary experience showcases rice in all its glory.
