Pilibhit House in Haridwar launches a special menu featuring millets for a healthier and sustainable lifestyle
Pilibhit House, located in Haridwar and a part of IHCL SeleQtions, is renowned for its Sattvic living philosophy and soul-stirring experiences. In addition to their unique offerings, the restaurant has curated a special menu featuring millets. These contemporary delicacies are rooted in Indian cuisine and made using lesser-known regional ingredients, inspired by recipes from the ancestral kitchens of the noble house. The millets menu aims to promote a healthier and sustainable lifestyle while celebrating the International Year of Millets.
Millets, known for their many proven health and agricultural benefits, lost their prominence over the years. However, the culinary team at Pilibhit House has experimented with recipes and techniques to curate an exquisite dining experience that encourages guests to make healthier choices. These dishes will be a permanent highlight on the menu, and the luxury hotel has taken the initiative to train and educate their talented team on the benefits and usage of this multi-purpose superfood for more culinary innovations to come alive in the future.
SeleQtions, a brand of The Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL), launched in 2019, comprises a collection of named and distinctive hotels that celebrate the legacy of time, sense of place, or differentiated theme. These hotels have a strong equity, are well-established, and bring to life experiences through their location, décor, service, and cuisine.
Commenting on the launch of the Millets menu, Executive Chef Mani Mohan Pathak said, “The new menu truly aligns with the Pilibhit House’s core ethos. We have always focused on crafting dining experiences that are perfectly balanced for one’s body and mind. With growing awareness about the nutritional values of Millets, there’s been an increase in guests’ interest to explore and savour healthy food even while travelling. Incorporating millets into classic recipes, we have also experimented with local Garhwali delicacies and ingredients to present a robust and soul-satisfying menu.”
The scrumptious menu that boasts of millets as a hero ingredient, also imbibes lost spices and the finest regional ingredients to create a perfect medley of flavours. Guests can savour appetizers and small plates such as Home-made mix millets nachos with Bhangjeera or noon dip, Barnyard millets upma, and mouthwatering Paneer ghee roast on a ragi disc. To delight the palate further are dishes using local seasonal vegetables such as Barnyard Millet & Basil Konjee with masala jawar crisp, Pahadi kafli with bhanjeer ki chutney and Raagi roti, Ligude or Kachnaar subzi (Guriyal ki subzi), well-balanced Churkani Dal that consists of diverse types of beans, a flavorful Himalayan Red Rice Idly and more.
Patrons can also look forward to refreshing ‘Buransh ki Chuski’, a local Himalayan spiced iced gola made with burransh (rhododendron) flowers or Raagi, Flax seed & Jaggery ki Ladoo to end their meal on a sweet note. Mocktails such as local Timur salt infused Sharbat & Shikhanji make for soothing companion.
Haridwar’s most luxurious address continues to echo the sentiments of promoting health and wellness through its diverse experiences. Overlooking the majestic view of Ganges and surrounded by serenity of the Shivalik hills, Pilibhit House is a perfect summer destination to unwind and take a reflective pause.
