Here's what Chef Ajay Chopra and and Anahita Dhondy cooked
Chef Ajay Chopra took charge of creating a delightful dessert, presenting a healthy and delicious Lemon Mille-Feuille. He gave a nutritious twist to Thekua, a traditional dish from Bihar and Jharkhand, by incorporating Finger Millet, also known as Ragi. These Thekua-inspired cookies were layered with lemon curd, reminiscent of Shrikhand from Gujarat, sweetened with millet khichdi and fruits.
The G20 Summit in New Delhi not only serves as a platform for political discussions but also showcases India's diverse culinary heritage, with a particular focus on sustainable and nutritious millet-based cuisine. This event underscores the role of food in bringing people together and promoting international cooperation.
On the other hand, Chef Anahita Dhondy prepared a Raw Banana Barnyard Millet Tikki for the First Ladies in attendance, deviating from the typical Aloo Tikki. Anahita Dhondy, a well-known advocate of her traditional Parsi food culture, is celebrated for her expertise in the rich cuisine of India's Zoroastrian community.
