April is the month when many states of India like Bengal and Punjab celebrate their New Year’s day. This is the time of the year when restaurants in Hyderabad plan food festivals focused around Bengali and Punjabi cuisines. India has a long coast, with seafood prepared in diverse techniques in different belts from Mumbai to Malabar and Kanyakumari to Bengal. A couple of festivals here in Hyderabad showcase the cuisines from the coasts and ghats of India. Along with an international food festival from Morocco, these are my picks from the food promotions in April:
