Navratri is just around the corner and devotees across India are gearing up to celebrate this 9-day festival with fun and fervour. This year Navratri starts from 17^th to 25^th October 2020. One of the most prominent rituals of Navratri is vrat (or fasting). During this time, people whip up dishes without onion, garlic, meat and other non-veg. food.  Most devotees like to eat sattvik bhojan or vrat ka khana during Navratri or observe a fast in order to seek blessings from the deity. 

IIC has made special arrangement to serve Navratri Food from 17^th October (Saturday) to 20^th October 2020 (Tuesday) (04 days) for its Members. In the addition “Navratra Thali” will be available in the Dining Hall during the Navratra days.   

These items shall be served in addition to the regular menu in the Dining Hall, Lounge & Lotus Lounge and also can be booked on prior demand as “Take Away” items.

Italian cuisine combines the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet with a wide choice of seasonal ingredients and regional flavours. It relies on fresh ingredients cooked on the spot and a combination of vegetables, grains, fruits, and seafood, fish, meat and olive oil. Carbohydrates come in the form of pasta, rice (risotto), polenta, and pizza. Salts were used to cure meats like bresaola, salami and pancetta, and trading in luxuries afforded expensive food: liqueurs, nougat, osso bucco, truffles and nuts.
 
IIC has made special arrangements to serve “Italian Cuisine” from 09th October (Friday) to 11th October 2020 (Sunday) (03 days) for its members. In addition, our bakery chef will also be presenting special *“American Bakery items” at the confectionary counter for food lovers.
