Learn how to prepare scrumptious monsoon delights with a workshop that will specially focus on monsoon food recipes
Summer and chilled juices, winter and hot coffee — every season has a gastronomic accompaniment. Similarly, in the case of the monsoon, hot, crispy delights are perfect to increase the joy that comes with delightful drops of rain.
This rainy season, move over from the regular samosas and bhajjias when it’s pouring outside to more delectable items like spicy Jodhpur Mirchi and crispy Parippu Wada, among other things. Courtyard by Marriott Pune City Centre has organised a workshop meant specially to share recipes of dishes, which are perfect for the monsoon.

“I have listed monsoon favourites from the four corners of India in this workshop. I will also be demonstrating how to innovate with the good old cup of hot tea,” says Chef Chandra Shekhar Pandey of Courtyard by Marriott Pune City Centre, who will be conducting the workshop.
During the course of the workshop, the chef will be enlightening people about various dishes including the Makai Pyaaz Pakoda, Chicken Tikka Samosa and Amritsaari Fish that are tasty and go well with the mood that the rains create.
Amritsari Fish
He also has a piece of advice for the calorie-conscious lot, “Too much of anything is bad. Even having too much steamed food may lead to health hazards. There’s no reason why one should refrain from these monsoon delights. One must be responsible for what they eat and do so in justifiable quantities. Like one practices responsible drinking and driving, one must practice responsible eating and living.”u00a0So if you want to stay clear of health maladies that surface during the rains and still enjoy lip-smacking food, then its time to enroll in this workshop.
