The diverse nation that is India has iconic street food staples, each of which rules its own corner of the country. Raffles Singapore celebrates their fascinating flavours in a festival curated by award-winning Chef de Cuisine Kuldeep Negi. From July 1 to 14, the Street Food Festival will be hosted at the iconic Tiffin Room.
Introducing a rich and evocative gastronomic journey, the experience commences with Dahi Puri, Mumbai’s beloved sweet and savoury street snack, as a warm welcome from Chef Kuldeep. This marks a fitting start, brimming with a seamless amalgamation of flavours, accompanied with a refreshing mint coriander beverage.
Featuring renowned street food specialities of India, this limited-time menu draws inspiration from Chef Kuldeep’s heritage and extensive travel across India, offering guests a flavourful journey to discover iconic street food in a multi-course experience.
The culinary journey continues with Akki Roti, a local speciality of Karnataka, comprising rice flour flatbread elevated with coconut, and prepared together with crispy fried prawns and fresh tomato coconut chutney, or its vegetarian alternative that features Indian cottage cheese in place of prawns.
Showcasing Mumbai’s favourite pav, the Kheema Pav features soft, fluffy buns filled with Maharashtrian-style minced lamb curry accompanied with pickled onion, chilli and garlic chutney for an added flavour and texture dimension, while Vada Pav, from the vegetarian menu, contains Maharashtrian-style deep-fried spiced potato.
Savour flavourful main course specialities and travel to Delhi with Murgh Taka Tak with Amritsari Kulcha and Khatti Methi Chutney. Succulent boneless chicken leg is prepared Delhi-style with onions and tomatoes with the popular Punjabi street food of kulcha naan stuffed with potato, onion and spices, and complemented with sweet and sour tamarind chutney.
The vegetarian menu presents an equally delectable option of Choley Masala with Amritsari Kulcha and Khatti Methi Chutney. Punjabi-style chickpea curry is paired with kulcha naan stuffed with potato, onion and spices, coupled with a sweet and tangy tamarind chutney.
Rounding off the street food feast on a sweet note, look forward to Kesar Jalebi with Basundi, a traditional well-loved North Indian street snack boasting beautiful, golden, crunchy spiral-shaped snacks to be enjoyed with sweet thickened milk flavoured with cardamom and mixed nuts.
