At the six-day Bharat Parv 2025 festival held at the historic Red Fort in New Delhi, Rajasthani chefs brought authentic flavors to the event by teaching attendees the art of preparing traditional Rajasthani dishes.
In the kitchen studio set up as part of the festival, the Ministry of Tourism, in collaboration with Pusa Institute of Hotel Management, organized live culinary demonstrations showcasing regional cuisines from across India. As part of this initiative, Babulal and his two brothers presented live cooking demonstrations of two iconic Rajasthani delicacies: Mirchi Bada and Mawa Kachori. They also shared detailed recipes with the audience.
Spectators and food enthusiasts who attended the session tasted the dishes prepared during the demonstration and praised the flavors enthusiastically. The chefs, using their rustic and traditional style, explained the entire process of making Mirchi Bada and Mawa Kachori in an engaging manner.
