Come winter and the city of Kolkata gears up for festivitiesbe it cinema, theatre, music or food and, not to forget, the Christmas.

For a true blue Calcuttan, winter is the time to rejoice and revel in the spirit of the season. It is time  for outdoors…so eating out takes precedence over eating home- cooked food sitting at one’s own dining table, going out on picnics, visiting festival and fairs and, roaming the streets to enjoy the winter sun.

As winter sets in, the list of ‘eating out’ options is drawn and epicureans prepare to savour and take delight in everything related to ‘food’. Keeping in tune with the city’s mood Khandani Rajdhani is  hosting Swad Kesariya till December 31, 2019.

This is the time of the year when markets are flooded with fresh farm produce be it vegetables or fruits, allowing chefs to be more innovative, as Gajendra Singh Maharaj of Khandani Rajdhani has done! He has curated a delectable array of vegetarian dishes for Swad Kesariya to celebrate winter.

The festival has brought on to a platter the finest food to relish. At Khandani Rajdhani, Kolkata, Swad Kesariya  promises to satiate your palate with an array of over 35 varieties of dishes.

Gastronomes would take delight in sampling the food on offer. The festival has brought together the most authentic, fresh and varied Indian vegetarian winter dishes from all corners of the country. From traditional family secrets and regional favourites to seasonal surprises, Swad Kesariya is offering irresistible preparations such as Surti Undhiyu, Methi Ka Pitla, Suva LilavaSabji, Sarson Ka Saag and Bedmi Puri, Shalgamaur Hare Mutter Ki Subzi, Lilva Ratalu – all seasonal favourites.

And to top it all, there are the showstopper desserts – Goond Ke Laddoo, Adadiya Pak, Shakarkand Ki Rabdi, Ragi Coconut Ladoo and the most loved dessert of the season Gajar ka Halwa. These are served with Khandani Rajdhani’s famed farsan, chutneys, appetizers, Indian breads and a variety of rice and khichdi. All of them are made with the best quality and fresh produce be it jaggery, vegetables, ghee or butter.

The menu will be served on a rotational basis, ensuring that no matter how often you visit, the thali being served offers surprising combinations and new flavours each time. The eating experience at Khandani Rajdhani becomes even more pleasurable with its award-winning hospitality.

Swad Kesariya will be hosted across all Khandani Rajdhani outlets in India and will also be available for those unwillingly to leave the confines of their home, and, get the food home delivered.
