An immersive dining experience featuring the rich flavours of Kerala and Tamil Nadu, set in the tranquil luxury of Gurgaon’s leading eco-resort.
Gurgaon, June 2025: Karma Lakelands, one of India’s most loved eco-resorts, has announced the launch of “Two States – A South Indian Culinary Journey”, a one-of-a-kind food festival spotlighting the rich and diverse cuisines of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Held at the resort’s signature all-day dining restaurant, On Kourse, the event promises an immersive, flavour-filled experience celebrating the culinary heritage of southern India.
The specially curated festival menu brings together iconic dishes and hidden gems—from tangy Pepper Rasam to rich Aatu Kari Kulambu, fragrant Kozhi Biryani, soft Kerala Parotta with Chicken Chettinad, and earthy classics like Puttu with Kadala Curry. The lesser-known Kune Ulli Masala and comforting Meen Molly add depth to the offerings. Traditional desserts like Palada Pradhaman and Unni Appam add a sweet note to this authentic spread.
What sets this festival apart is not just the food, but the cultural storytelling behind it. With each dish rooted in tradition and prepared using regionally sourced ingredients, Two States aims to take guests on a soulful journey through the southern coast of India. From traditional banana leaf presentations to spice-forward flavours, the experience promises a sensory and emotional connection with the land and its culture.
Mr. Ravinder Kumar, Executive Chef at Karma Lakelands, shared, “The South Indian Fest is a culinary homage to India’s regional richness. We’ve gone back to roots—sourcing ingredients from Kerala, embracing traditional methods, and creating a space for diners to experience culture through taste. This is more than a menu; it’s a story told through food.”
Beyond cuisine, the festival underscores Karma Lakelands’ dedication to immersive and inclusive experiences. Set against a serene green backdrop, it invites food lovers, families, and cultural seekers to slow down and savour the richness of southern India—not just on the plate, but in spirit.
