At the chefs table we had sent our mothers favorite dishes where in the chef recreated a fusion version and totally impressed us..some of  the favorite dishes were lime rice, mutton chops, kashmiri pulao, fish fry and veg korma...and we loved the cocktails and mocktails paired with the food...

Long Island Ice Tea

Mexican Sunrise

Passion Paradise

Mojito

Lime Rice Risotto 

Fusion cuisine is not appreciated by everybody. People have a stereo typical taste and stick to their version always this is the truth...I appreciate chefs efforts showing of his skills taking the heart of italians favorite risotto and mixing southindian flavors is not a easy task. What I thought about the dish? both lime rice and risotto must be al dente other then that I like the idea..

Navratan Korma

This dish was like anyother restaurant style korma creamy and tasty...However, I would have appreciated a bread basket on the side...

Mutton Stew

This dish was super cooked in a plum sauce with carrots and potato the meat was tender and very tasty the peppery taste and tang was bang on...

Kashmiri Pulao

The pulao was super no comments...

Tawa Fish Fry

I liked the recipe not the fish this was my mom's request. Amma's fish fry is world famous bagging half a million views on both my channels and still going strong so I will stick with her recipe...sorry Chef...here is the recipe link to my mom's fish fry recipe please click here...
