Today is the Third Anniversary of Telangana State Formation. It is
a holiday for all Government Offices and Undertakings and to many Private
Companies and Schools which have reopened early after summer vacation. There
were National Flag hoisting programs and cultural programs this morning in the
State Capital and all Districts of the State. Celebrations in different forms
are to take place in all districts for the next three days.
Food is an important part of any celebration and every festival in
all communities and nations of the world and perhaps a little more in
Telangana! So the Telangana State Tourism Development Corporation has lined up
a slew of activities, including Food Awards, with the Hotels and Restaurant’s
Association and with THE HINDU as a media partner. From today to 6th June, all
three, four and five-star hotels in the twin cities will serve delicacies of
Telangana and compete for 15 awards, including the ones for the best food
court, ambiance and creativity, best chef, food service and food festival. Food
Festival with a number of Food Courts and Cultural Programs has commenced today
at People’s Plaza on Necklace Road.
We too celebrated Telangana Formation Day by savoring authentic
local food of Palamuru in a rustic village atmosphere at Palamuru Grill
Restaurant in Madhapur, Hyderabad. Palamuru / Palamoor is the region adjacent
to Hyderabad City with a distinct spicy and hot cuisine. The meal consisted of
a platter of grilled Panneer, Potelu (Mutton) Chops, Fish, Prawns, Chicken and
Sheekh Kababs, Rumali Roti, Gadwal Pappu, Kunda Pulav – Mutton Pulav cooked in an
Earthen Pot in front of us, close to our Table. You can see all this and other
accompaniments in the attached photographs. And at home we had Sunrise
Mocktails and plenty of local delicious Mangoes with one special fruit weighing
over one kilogram!
