'Ghar ka swad' for PM Modi in Davos

Davos [Switzerland]: A team of chefs from Taj Group is preparing cuisines at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Mainly consisting of Indian cuisine, the spread prepared by these chefs will be served at three different venues.

Speaking to ANI, Raghu Deora, the logistical head for this entire mission, said,"I have been told that he likes anything and everything vegetarian. It will be like 'Ghar ka Swad Davos mein" on serving to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

He added that it is quite difficult to prepare Indian dishes here as the Indian spices are quite different.

"We are a team of 32 chefs and managers catering to India Adda, AP lounge and India Reception for about 12,000 people, we also have a special dinner at Inter Continental. Prime Minister Modi will be having our food at 3 different venues. There is much bigger India presence in Davos," he added.

He told, "Almost 1000 kg of spices have been brought from India, some hand-carried some couriered".

Deora, along with Nitin Mathur, the executive chef Taj Krishna, Hyderabad and Neville Pimento, resident manager at Taj Lands End, Mumbai, will be leading the team of chefs at different venues.
