How about satay (Indonesian kebabs) accompanied by a mug of beer for dinner? Taj Deccan is organising a first of its kind Satay 'n' Grills Festival, from 12th to 20th April, at Arena, the 24-hour coffee shop. The festival will offer satay in vegetarian and non-vegetarian options from across Indonesia.
Chef Abhijeet Thakre has been specially flown down for the festival. Having worked in all corners of India over 7 years, he's gained expertise in Italian, Indian and Oriental cuisine, and is an authority on Indian street food.
Satay (spelled as 'sate' in both Indonesia and Malaysia, and in the Netherlands) is a dish consisting of chunks or slices of dice-sized meat (chicken, goat, mutton, beef, pork, fish etc.) on bamboo skewers. These are grilled or barbecued over wood or charcoal fire, then served with various spicy seasonings. Satay may have originated in Java or Sumatra in Indonesia, but it is also popular in many other South-East Asian countries. The a la carte menu for the festival will include:
