Naga cuisine is marked by earthy flavours, bold heat, and a blend of smoked goodness. To celebrate the flavours of this picturesque North Eastern state, Chef Aketoli H Zhimomi has curated a special Naga menu for the Nagaland Food Festival that is being held at DEL, Roseate House, Aerocity in Delhi.
The Nagaland Food Festival will feature a specially curated dinner buffet, offering an exquisite selection of traditional dishes crafted with native ingredients, time-honoured techniques, and a contemporary touch. Guests can savour delicacies such as crispy pork belly with chayote and perilla salad, freshwater snails with perilla, and smoked pork with axone—each dish a testament to the bold and intricate flavors of Naga cuisine.
Mr. Kush Kapoor, CEO of Roseate Hotels & Resorts, shares, “At Roseate Hotels & Resorts, we believe in showcasing the depth and richness of India’s culinary landscape. We have been witnessing an overwhelming response to our regional culinary fests. This is a testimony to the evolving palette of our guests, who are willing to experiment with new foods, ingredients that are out of their comfort zones. And we are thrilled to be with them in their gastronomical journey. We’ve previously hosted Hyderabadi, Kashmiri, and Jharkhand food festivals, and we have an exciting lineup of more to come. The Nagaland Food Festival is another step in our journey to celebrate and promote India’s incredible food culture.”
Echoing similar sentiments, Chef Gagandeep Singh Bedi, Executive Director of Culinary at Roseate Hotels & Resorts, added, “I believe that India’s culinary landscape is as diverse as its rich cultural heritage. By showcasing micro-cuisines, we not only celebrate the unique flavors of different regions but also provide a platform for lesser-known, yet incredibly rich traditions to shine. This initiative also allows our team to explore and master a variety of traditional cooking techniques. The Naga Food Festival, led by Chef Aketoli, perfectly embodies this effort. It is an important part of our ongoing mission to offer guests an authentic experience that reflects the hidden culinary treasures of India.”
Chef Aketoli has been a champion of indigenous flavours. With years of dedication to her craft, she brings an authentic yet refined touch to traditional Naga dishes.
