Ethnic food court on wheels

Taste of Malabar:Tourism MinisterA.P. Anil Kumar tasting ethnic dishes during the launch of ‘Durbar,’ the DTPC’s mobile food court, in Malappuram on Sunday.

The District Tourism Promotion Council (DTPC) launched a mobile food court with the objective of promoting ethnic food items of Malappuram district.
Tourism Minister A.P. Anil Kumar flagged off the mobile food venture titled ‘Durbar’ at a function held here on Sunday.
“Even when promoting the ethnic dishes of Malappuram, we are trying to woo foreign tourists to the genuine taste of the district,” said DTPC secretary V. Umer Koya.
“But Durbar will not confine to ethnic food items alone. It will provide all kinds of continental dishes. It will move along with the tourists and prepare food for them if there is demand. But its preference will be ethnic food items,” he said.
Prominent among the dishes provided by Durbar on the first day were ‘pathiri,’ coconut rice, and biryani. Other dishes will also be available on demand.
The DTPC had launched ‘Treat’ restaurants at some places in the district with the aim of introducing and popularising ethnic dishes a month ago.
The public response to the Treat restaurants promoted the DTPC to launch Durbar now.
Durbar can be reached on the phone 9746459570.
