Bangalore, 30th December 2024: Breaking new ground in festive traditions, Khandani Rajdhani, the iconic thali restaurant, is proud to host the world’s first-ever Undhiyu Mixing Ceremony, set to take place in Bengaluru. This large-scale event is a first-of-its-kind initiative, celebrating the winter season and the bounty of fresh, seasonal vegetables that come together to create Undhiyu, Gujarat’s most iconic and comforting dish. The event also marks the kickoff of Khandani Rajdhani’s much-awaited Swad Kesariya Festival, which celebrates the season with a curated menu of winter delicacies from Gujarat and Rajasthan.

The ceremony is a unique twist on festive traditions, offering a refreshing alternative to the popular cake mixing events. It brings communities together to embrace the winter harvest while highlighting the intricate preparation of Undhiyu, which features a medley of purple yam, raw banana, fenugreek leaves, eggplant, pigeon peas, and more, blended with rich spices.

At the heart of the Swad Kesariya festival will be the iconic Undhiyu, with a rotational menu that ensures a new culinary experience on every visit, the festival is a treasure trove of traditional dishes like Shahi Angoor ki Sabzi, Lilva Surti Dal, and more, paired with fresh breads and desserts like Shakarkandi Ka Halwa and Sitafal Phirni.

“At Khandani Rajdhani, we cherish the opportunity to create new traditions while honoring our roots. The Undhiyu Mixing Ceremony is our way of celebrating winter and the vibrant ingredients that define it. While the season is traditionally known for cake mixing, we wanted to bring forth our Indian winter flavors and create something unique—an experience that is truly one-of-a-kind. Coupled with the Swad Kesariya Festival, it’s an invitation for everyone to come together and relish the authentic and comforting flavors of the season,” said Aji Nair, CEO of Mirah Hospitality and Gourmet Solutions Pvt. Ltd.

The Undhiyu Mixing Ceremony will be an immersive and festive experience, with participants coming together to mix the ingredients of this iconic dish, symbolizing community and togetherness. The event will culminate with guests enjoying a specially curated thali featuring Undhiyu and other winter delights.
