Go Man-Go Festival from 7 July till 30th July starts at Velvet Clarks Exotica, Zirakpur– Chandigarh: Get ready to enjoy sumptuous, mouth watering dishes made of pure, healthier organic mangoes at Velvet Clarks Exotica, Zirakpur-Chandigarh.
Mangoes have been used creatively to design a mouth watering starter and main course menu. Some of these are Paneer Ambiya Tikka, Chicken Tikka with mango dips, Mango Shahi Kofta, Mango Chicken Curry, Raw Mango cucumber gazpacho, BBQ Mango salad, Mango Phirni, Mango Lassi, and Aam Panna among others.
Sight, smell, taste and texture are the 4 senses that come together to provide a full experience of the meal we eat. However researchers have found hearing or listening to sound can have a significant impact on our eating experience therefore we are offering two of our signature dishes as sizzlers these are Ambiya Paneer Tikka and Chicken Tikka with Mango Dips.
Talking to media persons, Maninderjit Singh, General Manager, Velvet Clarks Exotica, said: “Mangoes used to prepare the lip smacking cuisine are from a farm spread across 13 acres of area. No pesticides have been used and the mango trees have been grown organically. Due to this the fruits are tastier and healthier. The festival follows ‘the farm to fork model’ as mangoes are brought to the consumer’s table straight from the farm without any intermediaries.” He said that since 2015, ‘Go Man-Go Festival’ has been the most awaited event for the food aficionados of the tricity. “Their patronage is a great support for us,” he added.
According to Birdaram, Executive Chef, Velvet Clarks Exotica, “Normally mango recipes include beverages like mango shake, aam panna etc, however not many people experiment with food starters and main course based on mangoes. We have done just that! Some of our signature dishes include Mango curry chicken in the main course and in starters Ambiya paneer tikka is a must try. There are other dishes which have been curated for those in love with mangoes.”
