It's the beginning of festive season, and what better way to start the celebrations than with food. And when we say food - the fare interestingly begins with the auspicious nine-day fasts of Navratras. There are food specialties galore during this period and every household and restaurant whips up special dishes and mind you, we are not talking about the usual kuttu ke atta ki puri, sitaphal (pumpkin) ki sabzi, or sabudana kheer but fusion food (read sizzler, salads, dosa etc etc). And, these are available in city restaurants.
