 "Now, Rajan on your plate")
To celebrate the legacy of the outgoing RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan, Zzungry, a Bengaluru-based food start-up has introduced two offbeat dishes in their menu as a tribute to India’s Central banker.
The two dishes Ulundu kozhukattai and Kova kozhukattai are inspired from the cuisines of two states in India that hold great relevance in the life of Rajan. The dishes priced at Rs 100 and Rs 150 will be available from 26th August to 2nd September 2016 just before Rajan signs off from his tenure.
“This is a unique gesture from Zzungry to appreciate the commendable work done by Dr Rajan. He has touched the lives of commoners and entrepreneurs like us in a positive way,” said Ashish Kalya, Co- Founder, Zzungry, which clearly is trying to ride on Rajan's name to promote itself.
The Savoury dish, Ulundu kozhukattai, is a delectable savory rice flour dumpling stuffed with medium spicy mixture of urad dal, tempered with curry leaves and spices, steamed and served with chutney. This dish is inspired from the Madhya Pradesh cuisine which is Rajan's birth place.
On the other hand, the sweet dish, Kova kozhukattai, is a sweet rice flour dumpling stuffed with cardamom flavored mixture of khoya with dry fruits, simmered in rose flavored milk, that is served as a dessert. This sweet dish is inspired from the state of Tamil Nadu that connects to his origins.
Zzungry is a Bangalore based food start-up that offers freshly prepared Indian cuisine handpicked from various parts of India, which recently received seed funding from a group of individual Silicon Valley-based investors, including Satish Vasudeva and Madhusudhan Jujare. To showcase the hidden gems of Indian cuisine, it offers curated chef prepared food on demand with a different menu each week.
