Navratri, served beautifully — a vegetarian festive menu at Kalpaney, running all nine days.

The Kalpaney team has put together a thali built on the ingredients the season is made of: kuttu, sabudana, makhana, sweet potato, and sendha namak on the table as custom asks. It runs the full spread — something cooling to open, something crisp to follow, a generous main course with breads and rice, curd and papad alongside, and a kheer to finish.

It's the food that belongs to this time of year, cooked the way you remember it from home. Pure vegetarian.
