With its wide range of delicacies, the food court at Saras Mela, the national expo going on at Asramam Maidan, is drawing crowds.
Along with the ethnic cuisine of 16 States, unique items from the different districts of Kerala are also available at the food court. The mela began on May 27 and within three days, the food stalls alone generated a revenue of over ₹10 lakh. According to officials, Hyderabadi biryani offered by the Telangana stall and priced ₹180 is the most sought after item. The dish is prepared in the traditional style by a five-member team consisting of three women and two men from Telangana.
