A. Ram Narayan Reddy
Minister for Tourism
Venue : Deccan Pavilion, ITC Kakatiya
The Traveller’s Platter

He is the star chef of Chief Minister Y.S. Rajashekara Reddy's latest menu of
tourism. A creative person who is enthused by dreams of transforming the sea
belt into an enviable coastal corridor to give a thrust to the tourism sector, he
is excited by innovative ideas of developing the coast, launching water tourism,
developing ports and promoting island tourism.
A foodie who has traveled widely in India and abroad, he shares his rich
dining experience at the Deccan Pavilion.
Rahul Singh, Manager F&B guided Ram Narayan Reddy to Deccan Pavilion, a
popular address for lavish buffet and dinner. The Chef guided him along the
rich tapestry of the buffet spread. An aura of excitement
prevailed as the Minister evinced keen interest to know
the nuances of the juice maker, the live kitchen and
names of some of the western cuisine.
“No, I don’t take alcohol", said Reddy and fresh

sweet limejuice fortified him. Thali Machli, a spicy
starter, was served and was deliciously
dispatched.
Asked why he preferred fish to

chicken, Reddy traced his
roots to Nellore, a city
predominantly known for
its popular and delicious
‘Nellore Chepa Pulusu’ on
which he has been raised.
However, he played safe
saying he is not averse to

The Reformer’s Diet

Belying the usual image of a government officer, he is a concerned reformist
and a performer. He is aware how the rich and famous know the art of getting
their work done in the passport office but the poor perennially suffer at the
hands of the governments. He brought visible reforms in the Regional Passport
Office making the issuance of passport systematic, without fear or favour.
Today getting a passport, access to information and grievance redressal are
well administered in the passport office, thanks to Bala Bhaskar, the man
behind all these vital reforms.
For a bite, his choice - Dakshin.
Dakshin, an epitome of South Indian Vegetarian and Non
Vegetarian cuisines, presented endless gastronomic
delicacies and he very humbly left the selection in the
hands of V. Chalapathi Rao, the executive chef. An
artful architect known for creative cooking, Chef
Chalapathi Rao passed instruction to Shibu Thomas,
the Sous Chef, who rushed into the kitchen to
translate them into delightful delicacies.
While waiting for the order, Havoic
Botliwala, the restaurant manager,
walked us through the history of
Dakshin and its popular delicacies.
Our welcome drink, Elaneer, tender
coconut water, arrived soon and live

his choice to red wines. Dragon Chicken in Chinese

Recipes to use
Cooking is complicated. But it is one of the most essential aspects of life. For many of
us it is a chore, for some it is a forceful necessity, for few it is a passion, and for some
it is a profession. Often, as guests at a restaurant, we hardly realize the intricacies
involved in the making of that perfect dish when a steward gets the most delectable
looking, aromatic and delicious food on to our table.
The balance of spices, the quality of ingredients, the extent of the flame, the flair of a
chef is truly a great arty gift. Yes, cooking is complicated business. Here, we give you
few recipes from the very arty chefs in Hyderabad to help you get a flair on the
sensitive aspects of cooking.
Try them and probably you will get a hint on the complexities that chef tackles every
day behind the burner.
