Navaratra special at Pak stalls

CHANDIGARH: With the beginning of Navratra on Friday, the Pakistani food court Liza Food Corner at the ongoing \'Made in Pakistan\' exposition, being held at Himachal Bhawan, Sector 28, introduced a special Navratra Thali on its menu, offering tandoori paranthas and curd with spices brought all the way from Pakistan.



The food court was otherwise famous for its non-vegetarian dishes like chicken tikka, chicken kabab, malai kabab and chicken biryani, which sold like hot cakes on Thursday, the first day of exposition.



The food stall introduced the special thali as a mark of respect towards the Indian festival, as it already had vegetarian dishes like chana puri, veg biryani, meethe chawal, dahi bhalla and gol gappas in its menu.



Mujahid Butt, a trader with the food corner said, \"Someone told us on Thursday that an Indian festival will start from Friday and many people do not eat non-vegetarian during this festival, so we decided to add a vegetarian dish, which is our specialty.\"



Faisal Azeen, owner of the food corner said, \"Considering the occasion, we have also included a special aloo tikki prepared in pure desi ghee. We are happy that people have been appreciating our flavours. People flock our corner asking for their favourites from our menu even before we set it up.\"



Hasan, another trader from Pakistan, added, \"This had to be done as we are in India now, but even back home in Pakistan, we celebrate Indian festivals. We recently celebrated Holi and Shivratri. The temples made around 800-900 years ago are still intact and are taken care of in Pakistan. The ones who have created the boundaries are a few, but the majority still lives with Aman Ki Asha.\"



The Navaratra specific initiative was appreciated by the visitors, particularly those who visited for the second time.



Hitesh Kang, a Chandigarh resident said, \"On Thursday, I came to taste the popular chicken biryani, but had checked out the entire menu. When I saw an add-on dish today, I asked if they would add a new dish every day. But, the Navaratra reason behind the new dish is a gesture that deserves to be appreciated.\"
