The Keraleeyam food festival will be the best food extravaganza seen in the State, Minister for Food and Civil Supplies G.R. Anil has said.
Addressing a press conference in connection with the food festival to be held as part of the week-long Keraleeyam here on Thursday, the Minister said the festival would be held at 11 venues from Manaveeyam Veedhi to East Fort. Nearly 500 expert chefs will present 2,000 Kerala dishes. These dishes would figure on what will probably be the biggest menu card to be brought out as part of the festival.
More than 150 stalls with fare ranging from ‘thattukada’ to five-star standards will be arranged as part of the festival. Most of the stalls will be by small entrepreneurs who have experimented with varied fare and emerged successful. Government departments and agencies such as the Scheduled Tribe Development department, Cooperation department, Fisheries department, Dairy Development department, and Kudumbashree will also take part.
